Six people pleaded guilty in federal court on Tuesday in a drug conspiracy on the Northern Cheyenne in Montana.

Four Mexican nationals and two women from the reservation were set to go to trial when they entered pleas. The Mexican nationals pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to distribute meth and possession with intent to distribute. The four men had been stopped with drugs and said they were going to take them to the reservation.

Of the reservation women, Jennifer Gleason, 38, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute meth. Amber Littlesun, 24, admitted to money laundering charges.

Four other members of the Littlesun family, including the parents, earlier pleaded guilty to various drug-related charges. Two other people have been convicted.
