Beckley attorney pleads to drug, embezzlement charges
A Beckley attorney entered six pleas Thursday morning in Raleigh County Circuit Court, including drug and embezzlement charges.
Richard E. Hardison Jr., 47, entered a Kennedy plea to delivery of cocaine and conspiracy to commit a felony; he pleaded guilty to three counts of embezzlement and attempt to commit a felony (uttering).
