Peter D. White, a former chairman of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, has pleaded guilty to accepting gaming-related bribes.
White admitted he took more than $20,000 from a check-cashing business that operated in the tribe's casinos. The operator, Craig Keith Potts, has already been indicted on bribery and conspiracy charges.
Federal prosecutors allege Potts made the bribes in order to influence tribal officials into awarding him more contracts.
