A longtime assistant to Alabama Rep. John Rogers will be sentenced in June after pleading guilty to charges associated with a federal kickback scheme involving her boss and another lawmaker.

Varrie Johnson Kindall, 58, of Chelsea, pleaded guilty on Monday afternoon to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, wire fraud and obstruction of justice. U.S. District Judge Scott L. Coogler accepted her guilty plea and set a sentencing date for June 26 at Hugo L. Black Courthouse in Birmingham.

“You’ve already been found guilty of felonies,” Judge Coogler said during the hearing, warning Kindall to not “get into any more trouble.”

Kindall and her attorneys declined to comment after the court appearance at the federal building in Tuscaloosa.

Kindall has worked for Rogers, D-Birmingham, for many years, as both a personal and legislative assistant.

Federal prosecutors allege that Kindall conspired to skim nearly $200,000 in public money in a kickback scheme involving Rogers and former Rep. Fred Plump, who pleaded guilty and resigned from office. Court records say that the funds from the Jefferson County Community Service Fund were intended to support the Piper Davis Youth Baseball League, overseen by Plump. Rogers and Kindall are also charged in another scheme involving funds intended for an unnamed organization, per court documents. Rogers has previously identified the founder of that unnamed organization as George Stewart, who leads the American Gospel Quartet Convention.

According to court documents released earlier this month, Kindall agreed in her plea agreement, signed Feb. 9, to pay nearly $198,000 in restitution to the Jefferson County Community Service Fund, and the IRS more than $48,000.

In exchange, her 22 other charges were dismissed, per court records.

During the hearing, Judge Coogler said that Kindall had been accused of recently opening multiple lines of credit, which conflicts with her bond agreement. He said she may need to be taken into custody until her sentencing.

But then he met with the attorneys in private. When he returned to the courtroom, the judge  spoke sternly to Kindall, warning her to not violate her bond or he’d sign a decision to put her into custody immediately.

“I really feel like I should put you in jail,” he said. “When I put you in custody, you’re not getting out until you’re free.”

The maximum punishment for each of her charges is up to 20 years in prison, a fine capped at $250,000, and supervised release of no more than three years, per her plea agreement. The U.S. Attorney’s Office recommended that the judge reduce Kindall’s charges and sentence her to a stint in prison followed by supervised release.

In May, Plump resigned from his seat and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of obstruction of justice in the kickback scheme. With Kindall’s guilty plea, this now leaves Rogers as the last one standing of those accused in the scheme. He is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, 11 counts of wire fraud, three counts of mail fraud, conspiracy to obstruct justice, three counts of obstruction of justice, and aiding and abetting the making of a false statement to federal investigators.

Rogers has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in interviews with AL.com.

Rogers’ jury trial, previously scheduled for June 3, has been pushed to a later, unspecified date after his attorney asked for more time, per court documents.

Kindall has another federal case, in which she pleaded guilty to taking nearly $88,000 worth of her parents’ federal retirement payments after they had already passed away. Judge Coogler set the sentencing date for that case on June 26 as well.
