LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An April sentencing has been scheduled for a retired Nebraska union leader who pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $100,000 in union funds.

Ray Lineweber made his plea Friday, after striking a deal with prosecutors who promised to seek dismissal of 28 other counts. Lineweber had rejected a plea deal offer last month.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Mickle says evidence shows Lineweber embezzled 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. Lineweber said in court Friday that he used most of the money on union members.

His sentencing is scheduled for April 17.
