ROANOKE, Va. (WSET) — A Roanoke City Councilman is out of a job and convicted on new charges.
Robert Jeffrey Jr. accepted a plea deal Thursday in exchange for a guilty plea on an embezzlement charge.
Earlier this week, a jury found Jeffrey guilty of two counts of obtaining money under false pretenses of more than $1,000 in CARES Act funds.
Jeffrey faces up to 20 years on the felony counts. He will be sentenced on June 7.
Jeffrey was taken into custody following the verdict.
