Hartford, Conn. — A Tennessee man has agreed to plead guilty to charges of stealing money from the charity he created to benefit the people of Newtown, Conn., following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Robert Bruce is scheduled to appear in federal court in Hartford on May 12 for a change of plea hearing.

The Nashville man currently faces six federal wire fraud charges stemming from the alleged misuse of money from the 26.4.26 Foundation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office confirmed a plea deal had been reached, but said details have not been made public. Bruce’s attorney, Todd Bussert, declined to comment.

Bruce was charged in February 2015, about a year after authorities were contacted by Ryan Graney, a co-founder of the charity. She told them Bruce had failed to account for about $73,000 of the $103,000 they had raised.

The idea behind the foundation was for runners to participate in marathons, raising money for each of the 26 miles they ran and dedicating each mile to one of the 26 victims of the December 2012 shootings.

The charity held a marathon in New Hampshire in 2013. More than 1,400 runners raised about $22,000 for the foundation, organizers said.
