LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A Deming woman accused of selling Mexico-bound guns to stand-in buyers pledged $2 million in assets to guarantee her appearance at trial, in exchange for her release from jail.
Court records show in the absence of a full-fledged release, Terri Reese asked to be sent to a half-way house in Albuquerque where she could talk with her attorney.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports U.S. District Judge Robert Brack did not issue a ruling Wednesday, but said he'd issue a decision soon.
Reese's husband and two of their sons are accused of selling 34 weapons and ammunition to undercover agents and a Mexican cartel member-turned-government informant from 2010 to July.
Authorities claim the Reeses fudged firearms purchasing forms during the transactions and laundered the proceeds.
