Madison County District Attorney Michael Guest said in a news release Tuesday that the four pleaded guilty to racketeering, and each was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
They are 49-year-old Tonnie Carroll, 42-year-old Brenda Cross and 39-year-old Sylvester Anderson, all of Itta Bena; and 41-year-old Andre McClain of Greenville.
