ATLANTA (AP) — A former employee of the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta on Tuesday pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $1.1 million from the organization that offers a variety of visual and performing arts.

Ralph Clark, 42, entered a guilty plea in federal court after reaching a deal with federal prosecutors, who are recommending a sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Julie Carnes told Clark he would likely also be ordered to pay restitution. Sentencing is set for Aug. 7.
