FBI Agent Admits Stealing Silver Bars During Raid on Jan. 6 Defendant
An FBI agent has pleaded guilty to stealing from targets during raids and arrests, including from a man who was part of the mob that invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Nicholas Anthony Williams, who worked out of the FBI’s Houston office but is no longer with the bureau, admitted Monday to four thefts while serving search warrants.
One of those was a July 13, 2023, raid on the home of Alexander Fan, a member of Asians for Trump who breached the Capitol as part of the protest against the Electoral College count that confirmed President Biden’s win. . .
He also stole $1,200 during a raid on another residence on Dec. 16, 2020; got $4,145 from a raid on March 15, 2022; and pocketed $1,574 from a raid on Jan. 12, 2023. The theft from Fan is the last one he admitted to and, according to court documents, appears to have led to the agent’s downfall.
He also admitted to using his FBI-issued credit card to buy three cell phones, which he pawned. He spent $899.97 in taxpayers’ money and collected just $105 from the pawn shop. (Read more from “FBI Agent Admits Stealing Silver Bars During Raid on Jan. 6 Defendant” HERE)
