Latest local news, weather and high school sports for Toledo area

DETROIT (AP) - A federal prosecutor in Detroit says he expects guilty pleas from four former athletes charged in a point-fixing scheme at the University of Toledo.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David Morris made the disclosure Wednesday during a brief hearing in federal court. A 2009 indictment accuses two Detroit-area men of betting $407,000 on Toledo basketball games in 2005 and 2006. Six former Toledo athletes were charged with conspiracy.

Morris says he's expecting plea deals with former football players Adam Cuomo, Harvey "Scooter" McDougle Jr. and Quinton Broussard, and former basketball player Anton Currie. Defense lawyers acknowledged that agreements have been signed or are in the works.

Detroit-area businessmen Ghazi Manni and Mitchell Karam are planning to go to trial in late spring or summer.
