Two Tucson men have been convicted in U.S. District Court of conspiracy
to transport drugs.

Mark A. Simmons, 35, and Ernest R. Washington, 37, were found guilty by
a Tucson jury Wednesday.

Prosecutors said the men plotted to move the drugs between Tucson and
Ohio. During the investigation, officials seized about 1,500 pounds of
marijuana while it was being transported between the states.

Evidence at the trial showed the men used rental cars and tractor
trailers in 2003 and 2004 to transport the drugs. Three kilograms of
cocaine seized in Philadelphia were also linked to the two, authorities
said.

A drug conspiracy conviction carries a maximum penalty of 40 years in
prison. Sentencing for the men is scheduled for Dec. 14.
