Judge David P. Rush ordered a presentencing investigation for John Bourque, 37, who is being held without bond in the Greene County Jail. No sentencing date has been set.
In exchange for Bourque's plea, the government dropped a possession charge.
Bourque will have to spend at least five years in prison. The maximum sentence is 40 years.
According to the charging affidavit, the FBI, suspecting Bourque was making heroin runs between Louisiana and Missouri, obtained a search warrant to track Bourque's cell phone November 11. Two weeks later, federal agents tracked the phone to Crowley, Louisiana.
When Bourque returned to Missouri, the FBI arranged with the Missouri State Highway Patrol to stop him in Newton County.
Bourque consented to a search and troopers found a black package containing heroin taped under the hood. He admitted making several trips between Missouri and Louisiana to pick up and deliver heroin.
