2 more guilty pleas in border gun smuggling case
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/7655565.html

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Two more New Mexicans accused of helping to smuggle hundreds of guns across the border have pleaded guilty.

Prosecutors say 40-year-old Alberto Rivera of Columbus and 22-year-old Eva Gutierrez of Las Cruces entered the pleas during a hearing in Las Cruces Friday. Rivera pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, making false statements in the acquisition of firearms, and smuggling firearms from the United States. Gutierrez pleaded guilty to conspiracy and making false statements in the acquisition of firearms.

Earlier this week, former Columbus Mayor Eddie Espinoza entered the first guilty pleas in the case, which is scheduled to go to trial in October.
