The lead singer of a popular Tejano band pleaded guilty Friday in federal court in Tucson to a money-laundering charge.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said Adalberto C. Gallegos Jr., the 52-year-old frontman for The Latin Breed, received more than $270,000 from the sale of marijuana between February 2004 and July 2006.

Gallegos deposited the money in a Bank of America account in Tampa, Fla., and then later withdrew the funds in Tucson.

Gallegos, of Tucson, was indicted by a federal grand jury here in December. He's scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 6.

A conviction for money laundering carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and/or a $500,000 fine, according to prosecutors.
