New York State Assemblyman William Scarborough confirmed on Wednesday that he's resigning as part of a plea agreement.

The Queens Democrat admitted that he lied about being in Albany when he wasn't, according to the Associated Press. He's scheduled to plead guilty to federal charges of theft and wire fraud related to $40,000 in travel expense claims from 2009 to 2012.

"I did in fact claim to be in Albany at times when I was not there or I would claim to have stayed longer than I actually did," Scarborough said in a statement. "As a result I will be stepping down from the job that I love, and I will face whatever sanctions the court imposes at the proper time."
