A former labor union official from Albert Lea has pleaded guilty to embezzling $35,000 from his union.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 39-year-old Cory Carroll pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of theft and embezzlement from a labor organization.
Carroll was secretary-treasurer of the Regional and Shortline General Committee of Adjustment at the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen. He was indicted in April.
In his plea agreement, Carroll admitted that from February 2007 to March 2009, he stole money by charging personal expenses to his union credit card. He also admitted he claimed lost wages for days he was not actually absent from the railroad for union business.
Carroll faces up to five years in prison. Sentencing has not been scheduled.
