Former Mayor to Plead Guilty to Fund Misuse
Former Boise Mayor Brent Coles will plead guilty to two felonies for allegedly using taxpayer dollars to pay for trips and entertainment, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors dropped three other felony counts and agreed Coles will spend no more than three years in prison, according to a statement by the state attorney general’s office.
Coles will plead guilty to one charge of filing a false reimbursement expense for tickets to a Broadway show in New York City last year, and one charge of misuse of public money during a 1999 trip in New York state, the statement said.
