Louisville Man Charged for Impersonating an FBI Agent and Making False Statements to FBI Agents
LOUISVILLE, KY—A federal grand jury in Louisville returned an indictment against Jeffrey C. Williams, age 44, of Jefferson County, on charges of false personation of an officer or employee of the United States and making false statements to FBI agents, Acting United States Attorney Candace G. Hill of the Western District of Kentucky announced today.
The Indictment alleges that on or about and between late March 2009 and May 5, 2009, Williams pretended to be an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and stated to the residents at Park DuValle Housing Community that he worked for the FBI in special investigations of troubled properties by preventing criminal activities and that he had arrested several individuals. Williams' statements instilled a sense of intimidation in the residents. Williams also gave the investigating FBI agents a false birth date and Social Security Number.
In the event of a conviction, the maximum potential penalties are 5 years' imprisonment, a $250,000.00 fine, and supervised release for a period of up to 3 years.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel P. Kinnicutt and it was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Williams is scheduled to appear for arraignment before United States Magistrate Judge Dave Whalin on June 19, 2009, at 10:00 a.m., in Louisville, Kentucky.
