The former top executive of the Fiesta Bowl has reached a plea deal with Arizona prosecutors to settle allegations related to a political donations scandal. Arizona Attorney General's Office spokeswoman Amy Rezzonico confirmed Sunday that John Junker will appear in court on Tuesday, although she said she was barred from providing details before the hearing. Junker's lawyer, Stephen Dichter, said in a statement that his client plans to plead guilty to a single felony count in state court and another in federal court related to his role in soliciting political contributions from Fiesta Bowl employees who were later reimbursed by the bowl. The Arizona Republic first reported the deal in Sunday's editions. The bowl reimbursed employees about $48,000 over a nine-year period.
