The former housing director for the Crow Tribe of Montana was sentenced to four years probation and ordered to pay restitution for embezzling tribal funds.
Dwight Elwin Stewart, 55, pleaded guilty in March to stealing more than $10,000 from the tribe. He reportedly used some of the money to take his family to Disney World.
Co-defendant Billie K. Tall Bull, 34, a former administrative assistant of the housing program, pleaded guilty to a similar crime on Wednesday.
