He appeared before the U.S. District Judge Scott Coogler today at the Hugo L. Black U.S. Courthouse in Birmingham.
Federal prosecutors said that between 2019 and April 2023, Rogers directed about $400,000 of public funds from the community service fund to the Piper Davis Youth Baseball League which was operated by state Rep. Fred Plump. Rogers and Kindall also attempted to offer $10,000 from the fund to an unnamed dance studio, but the owner refused to participate in the kickback scheme, prosecutors said in court records.
Prosecutors then responded with a recommendation for 14 months of imprisonment, instead, alleging that Rogers breached his plea agreement by admitting to something he now claims he doesn’t have memory of.
