It looks like former Maine Turnpike Chief Paul Violette will go to prison for five years.
The Maine Attorney General's office accuses him of stealing gift cards and money to pay for personal travel, meals and other expenses.
Violette was Executive Director of the Turnpike Authority for 23 years before resigning under pressure in March.
Violette's lawyer says his client will plead guilty to getting unauthorized control over the Turnpike Authority's property.
It's a plea deal that calls for no more than five years in prison.
Violette had already agreed to pay the authority $155,000 to settle a civil lawsuit.
