Kevin Song, 31, will face Newcastle District Court on December 14 to get a sentencing date, after he pleaded guilty in the local court on Wednesday to one count each of supplying a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
Song and his co-accused, Jae Son, were arrested in a Hunter Street carpark in March as part of a police strike force investigation into a suspected drug supply operation between Sydney and Newcastle.
Mr Son, who is on Supreme Court bail and has not yet entered any pleas to a string of similar charges, will face Newcastle Local Court again on December 6.
