LEXINGTON, Ky. — A former top executive of Lexington's Blue Grass Airport has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit theft by deception.

John Slone, the airport's former director of planning and development, had faced a felony theft charge stemming from hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses that executives billed to the airport.

The charge was reduced as part of a plea agreement that requires him to testify against other defendants.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Saturday that Slone faces up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of not more than $500.

Prosecutors recommended a 12-month jail sentence, but no fine.
