Jesse Haggard pleads guilty to drug, money laundering charges in steroid ring.

The last defendant in a 12-person indictment alleging a Mobile-based steroids conspiracy is pleading guilty.

Attorneys for Jesse S. Haggard filed papers in U.S. District Court Monday indicating that he will plead guilty to conspiracy to distribute steroids and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Prosecutors are expected to recommend about a year and a half incarceration.

The 32-year-old was scheduled to go to trial in April. According to a written plea agreement, Haggard admitted prescribing multiple anabolic steroids to patients who didn't need them.

Haggard was among 12 people indicted in 2008.
