ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Court records show a former county manager in North Carolina has reached a plea deal on federal charges and has agreed to repay $750,000 of taxpayer money illegally spent on life insurance, shopping, vacations and other items.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that court records filed Thursday show Wanda Greene reached the agreement on four charges, including one count of receipt of kickbacks and bribes.
A judge must approve the deal. Greene faces up to 33 years in prison and $1 million in fines for the four counts.
