LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A February trial has been scheduled for a former Nebraska union leader who declined to make a plea deal in his embezzlement case.

Ray Lineweber’s attorney told U.S. Magistrate Judge Cheryl Zwart on Tuesday in Lincoln that Lineweber would not take the prosecution’s offer. Zwart then set the trial to start on Feb. 2.

The 67-year-old Lineweber, of Lincoln, has pleaded not guilty to charges of embezzlement, mail fraud and falsifying union records.

Prosecutors say the Lineweber stole nearly $103,000 from the United Transportation Union between January 2008 and May 2012, when he was legislative director for the union’s Nebraska State Legislative Board 30. The federal indictment says Lineweber misled the union in reports requesting reimbursement for food, entertainment, travel and other expenses.
