Former FBI Agent Convicted of Theft

Former FBI agent Nicholas Anthony Williams, 37, has admitted to stealing money and property from homes during search warrants in Houston between March 2022 and July 2023. Williams, who worked on the criminal violent gang and counterterrorism squads since 2019, also made false statements about unauthorized charges on his government-issued credit card. U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani stated that Williams betrayed the FBI's legacy and the community's trust. Williams faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, with sentencing set for January 13, 2025. The investigation was conducted by the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General, and Williams remains free on bond until his sentencing.
