FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ A Fargo man has admitted to ordering three

men in a drug trafficking ring to rob a convenience store.

Fred Thompson pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to a pair

of charges, including aiding and abetting a robbery in furtherance

of drug trafficking.

Authorities say the 55-year-old Thompson told Steve Gibson,

Mason Peet and Roger Butcher to rob a south Fargo Stop-N-Go store

on Oct. 26. The three men had a .22 caliber rifle during the

robbery.

Sentencing for Thompson is scheduled for Jan. 8. He faces up to

life in prison.
