Anniston Architect Pleads Guilty As Part of Two-Year College Scandal

An Anniston architect will spend six months in home detention after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice.
Julian Jenkins was charged with obstruction, as well as conspiracy and bribery, for his role in the two-year college system scandal. Federal prosecutors accused him of bribing former chancellor Roy Johnson.
As part of the plea agreement, the 76-year-old will also serve three years of probation. His plea means he avoids a trial that was scheduled to begin Monday.
Jenkins' firm was granted more than $5 million in contracts for the college system after he hired Johnson's son and gave Johnson $55,000 work of architectural plans and fireplaces.
Jenkins will also have to pay back the profit he made off of the contracts as a restitution to the college system.
