SOUTH BEND — A man accused of working with former South Bend Housing Authority employees to defraud the organization out of millions of dollars will plead guilty to bank and wire fraud.

According to court documents filed last week, Archie Robinson III admitted to receiving checks for repair work his company didn’t perform from Tonya Robinson, the housing authority’s former director, and other authority employees. Archie Robinson then cashed the checks and gave a portion of the money to the others involved in the scheme.

Archie Robinson, along with five other housing authority employees and contractors, was initially charged with multiple counts of bank fraud and theft in July. The indictments come after the FBI in July 2019 raided the housing authority’s offices and a home on the city’s south side owned by the agency.
