Birmingham News: Former Alabama two-year chancellor pleading guilty to 15 counts
Former two-year college Chancellor Roy Johnson has agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in a plea agreement announced this morning. Johnson’s agreement with the government implicates unnamed Alabama legislators who received jobs in the colleges and some state school board members.
Johnson has agreed to plead guilty to 15 counts of bribery, conspiracy, witness tampering and obstruction in a criminal scheme that tapped more than $18 million in taxpayer money, U.S. Attorney Alice Martin said in a news conference this morning. Johnson, 62, faces a maximum sentence of more than a dozen years in prison.
