Ted Hogan, a member of the Crow Tribe of Montana, pleaded not guilty to 29 felony charges in New Mexico.

Hogan, 64, is accused of securities fraud, embezzlement, forgery and conspiracy to commit racketeering, among other charges. He remains in jail on a $1 million cash bond, which a judge refused to lower at a hearing yesterday.

The charges stem from a company Hogan started after being acquitted in federal court for allegedly lying about his financial situation. He was previously convicted of corruption when he worked for his tribe.

Two other tribal members who worked for Raven Economic Development Services also face charges in connection with Hogan's activities.
