One of Ohio’s most vocal protesters against the Cleveland Indians Chief Wahoo mascot has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $77,000 in federal funds meant to benefit Native Americans, a report says.
Robert Roche, 71, pleaded guilty to two charges of stealing the federal funding, according to Eric Heisig of Cleveland.com.
Roche was arrested for embezzling grant money from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The money was awarded to the Parma-based American Indian Education Center , the group Roche heads.
A federal investigation found that the sports logo protester diverted the funds to pay his personal expenses. He also made false statements in the application for the grant funds, prosecutors said.
