Two people accused of being accessories for the man facing trial for killing a Chattanooga police officer are expected to plead guilty in federal court on Wednesday.
Rachel Mathews, 21, and James Poteete are both scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate, according to court dockets.
Federal prosecutors confirmed Tuesday the two have agreed to a plea bargain.
Mathews is the sister of Jesse Mathews, who faces felony murder charges after being accused of shooting Sgt. Tim Chapin during a botched robbery on Brainerd Road on April 2.
Poteete was Rachel Mathews’ boyfriend at the time of the arrest.
