Paul R. Cortez of Nampa pleaded guilty in Idaho County district court today, through an agreement to drop all the charges against him but one felony count for poaching a bighorn sheep in Salmon River country last November.

Cortez pleaded under a Rule 11 agreement, in which the state agreed not to pursue the other charges Cortez was facing in exchange for a guilty plea on one of the wildlife violation felonies.
