MISSOULA - A 46-year-old Stevensville man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of dumping methamphetamine-cooking waste into an outhouse at campground in the Bitterroot National Forest west of Stevensville.

Brian K. Klobuchar pleaded guilty Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Jeremiah Lynch in Missoula. A second charge of dumping hazardous materials without a permit was dropped. Sentencing was scheduled for Feb. 19.

Klobuchar was arrested in September 2008 after a campground host reported that a man and woman had dumped at least two five-gallon buckets into a latrine before driving off in a pickup. Ravalli County authorities traced the pickup to Klobuchar.
