    Convicted reservation cigarette quilty on weapons charge

    Central Islip, New York (AP)

    An Indian reservation smoke shop owner convicted of being a major supplier of black market cigarettes also has been found guilty of a weapons charge.

    The same jury had acquitted Rodney Morrison, 41, during late April of nine counts that he waged a campaign of arson and murder to protect his multimillion dollar business.
