A high school teacher from the state Flori­da has plead­ed guilty to her role in a transna­tion­al firearms smug­gling op­er­a­tion linked to a crim­i­nal or­gan­i­sa­tion based in Trinidad and To­ba­go.

Shan­non Lee Sam­lals­ingh, 46, of Tam­pa, ap­peared be­fore a U.S. court on June 20 and ad­mit­ted to mak­ing false state­ments to a fed­er­al­ly li­censed firearms deal­er.

Ac­cord­ing to a state­ment from the Unit­ed States De­part­ment of Jus­tice (DOJ), Sam­lals­ingh now faces up to five years in fed­er­al prison.
