A federal grand jury indicted Rocha in 2012 on 18 counts arising from his alleged misuse of union funds. The indictment claimed Rocha misused a union credit card and voucher system, spending union money on golfing trips to Florida and Myrtle Beach, S.C., and personal trips to London and Orlando, among other expenditures.
Rocha eventually pleaded guilty to one count, admitting he used union money for a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals in Detroit in 2009.
He was sentenced to probation and a $2,000 fine.
