HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - A top administrator at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville is resigning in a plea deal with prosecutors.
Court documents show that A&M’s chief operating officer, Kevin Rolle, submitted his resignation as part of a plea agreement on Thursday.
Rolle pleaded guilty to forgery less than a week before a he was scheduled to go on trial on two felony charges.
Rolle was indicted in 2015 with prosecutors claiming he wrongly collected about $6,500 in moving expenses when he relocated to Alabama from South Carolina to work at Alabama A&M in 2009.
He has since repaid the university but was still charged with crimes.
Rolle pleaded guilty to possession of a forged instrument. He will serve a year in the Madison County Jail under the plea deal.
