Gary Eugene Yates Jr., 22, of the 100 block of North Franklin Street, and Conway J. Evans, 27, of Lindburg Boulevard, Philadelphia, each were convicted Wednesday of charges of possession with intent to deliver cocaine and conspiracy to possess cocaine with the intent to deliver it after a three-day jury trial in Montgomery County Court.The charges stemmed from a cocaine cooking and packaging operation that Pottstown police dismantled at the North Franklin Street apartment on May 26, 2006. Prosecutors alleged Evans supplied the cocaine and assisted with cooking it while Yates helped cook it and prepare it for street sale."Conway Evans was very high on the food chain of drug dealers. He was a supplier to drug dealers," said Assistant District Attorney Nathan Schadler. "This verdict today cut off several drug houses from their supplier."
