Rob Minard Convicted of 2 Felonies Following Guilty Pleas

*LANSING* – Today, in the 30th Circuit Court in Ingham County before Judge James Jamo, Rob Minard, 48, of Bath Township, pled guilty to two felony charges pursuant to a plea agreement, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Minard was charged in December of 2024 with multiple felonies, including conducting a criminal enterprise, for his role in allegedly misappropriating funds from three non-profit organizations and two political action committees tied to former Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield. 

Minard pled guilty today to one count of larceny by false pretenses - $20,000 or more but less than $50,000 for stealing funds from Working Together for a Better Michigan, an independent political action committee, and the political candidates that Working Together for a Better Michigan was supposed to be assisting and one count of filing a false tax return. As a condition of the plea agreement, Minard has agreed to provide truthful testimony in future hearings. 

Minard is additionally required to pay full restitution for amounts owed to the Michigan Department of Treasury.   

Rob Minard will next appear before the 30th Circuit Court for sentencing on December 17 at 11 a.m.
