PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Former state Rep. Wendell Keith Hall has reached a plea deal with the government and plans to plead guilty in the latest case against him.

Hall is already serving time in federal prison for bribing a mine inspector to overlook safety violations at his mines. Last year, a new indictment came down against him, accusing him of lying about having liability and worker’s compensation insurance at one of the companies he owns. He was charged with three counts three counts of wire fraud, two counts of identity theft, and making false statements.

Last week, Hall requested that he be allowed to enter a guilty plea, saying he has reached an agreement with prosecutors. The request does not specify to which charge or charges he plans to plead guilty.

A federal judge has granted that request and set a re-arraignment date of Feb. 1.
