The second of a pair of people charged after allegedly committing a series of crimes on their way to North Dakota from California has pleaded guilty to a single felony charge.

Cindy Pruett, 41, entered the plea to a charge of forgery during Flathead District Court proceedings on Nov. 7.

Pruett was initially charged with felony counts of forgery, operation of an unlawful clandestine laboratory and burglary. She later entered not-guilty pleas to the forgery and unlawful laboratory charges before changing her plea on the forgery charge.

As a result of entering the single guilty plea, the remaining two charges were dismissed.

According to a court document, Pruett and Timothy Holt stole a checkbook from a woman and wrote more than $2,700 in fraudulent checks. The victim reported her belief that the two were responsible because the couple had come into town and were staying at her grandfather’s residence, from which the checks were stolen.

A search warrant executed on the bedroom where the pair were staying allegedly turned up mail and other personal documents belonging to various people. Subsequent video surveillance allegedly identified Pruett writing the checks and Holt carrying the items from stores.

The pair were eventually arrested when they allegedly tried to use a stolen credit card. Pruett was located and arrested, directing police to the Outlaw Hotel, where Holt was staying. He was then found and arrested.

The court document states that Pruett gave police permission to search his room. A meth pipe was found, of which Holt claimed ownership, and a syringe, which Holt claimed belonged to Pruett, was also found.

Holt also allegedly confessed to burglarizing a U.S. 2 storage unit with Pruett, and that the stolen items were in their vehicle, along with a methamphetamine lab. Burglary tools were also allegedly found in the vehicle.

Holt previously pleaded guilty to felony operation of an unlawful clandestine laboratory and was sentenced in September to five years with the Montana Department of Corrections followed by five years of probation.

Pruett is facing up to 10 years in the Montana State Prison and a fine of up to $50,000 as well as any restitution when she is sentenced on Jan. 2, 2014.
