A former Oklahoma state official has pleaded not guilty to federal fraud and bribery charges in connection with work he did involving tribes.

Phillip C. Bread, a member of the Kiowa Tribe, used to work for the state Commerce Department. As tribal assistance director, he was a liaison between tribes and companies who wanted to do business with them.

A federal indictment alleges Bread accepted $12,000 to set up the meetings.
