BILLINGS - Former Billings Outlaws football player Shon Flores has admitted trafficking nearly 20 pounds of cocaine in Billings and around the state from August 2008 to June 2009.

Flores, who is 32, pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine that he or others brought in from Salt Lake City. U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull scheduled his sentencing for Feb. 10.

Prosecutors say his co-conspirators were a loosely knit group of current and former players with the Indoor Football League team and their customers included business owners, professionals and salesmen.

Flores, a defensive back, earned second-team All-America honors from The Sports Network as a senior at Montana State in 1999. His attorney says he played for the Outlaws for six years before leaving in 2006.
