BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A 52-year-old Billings businesswoman has pleaded guilty to her role in a cocaine trafficking ring.

The Billings Gazette reports Dru Cederberg pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempting to maintain a drug-related premises. The plea agreement calls for a two-year probationary sentence and a $50,000 fine. Sentencing is set for May 25 before U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell in Helena.

Cederberg is the latest to be convicted in a drug conspiracy in which Domingo Baez was convicted of bringing more than 11 pounds of cocaine to Billings from Washington state over a four-year period, beginning in 2004.

Cederberg testified against Baez, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Other clients of Baez who have been convicted include former Carbon County Attorney Robert Eddleman and his former fiancée, Terri Jabs Kurth.
