Blackfeet Tribe employees admit guilt in fraud case

Two employees who worked for the Blackfeet Tribe’s Head Start Program in Browning admitted in federal court Thursday to stealing money through a scheme that involved others in which an estimated $232,000 was fraudulently claimed as overtime pay, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Missoula.

U.S. Attorney Kurt G. Alme said Patrick H. Calf Boss Ribs Jr., 44, of Browning, and Theresa Marie Calf Boss Ribs, 51, each pleaded guilty to theft from an Indian tribal government receiving federal funding and to wire fraud.
