Desiree Lambert, 59, pleaded guilty to fraud, embezzlement, and aggravated identity theft. She admitted the stole money from the town and wrote checks to herself and members of her family, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a press release.

Lambert's husband, Bernard, 66, and the couple's daughters, Kaycee, 35, and Kayla, 30, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the theft. All four will be sentenced on March 5, 2014, the Associated Press reported.

The reservation is home to the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes. Desiree and Bernard Lambert were previously convicted for stealing $12,000 from the tribal education department, the U.S. Attorney's Office noted.
