Louisville Man Sentenced to Three Months for Impersonating an FBI Agent and Making False Statements to FBI Agents

LOUISVILLE, KY—Jeffrey C. Williams, age 44, of Jefferson County, was sentenced on September 3, 2009, to three months' and nine days' imprisonment in United States District Court, Louisville, Kentucky, for  false personation of an officer or employee of the United States and making false statements to FBI agents, United States Attorney Candace G. Hill of the Western District of Kentucky announced today. John G. Heyburn, II, Judge, United States District Court, also sentenced Williams to three years' supervised release following imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal judicial system.

Williams pled guilty on August 5, 2009, and admitted that between late March 2009 and May 5, 2009, he 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 which led to this investigation by the FBI. When Williams was interviewed by the FBI, he gave the investigating agents a false birth date and Social Security number.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel P. Kinnicutt and it was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
