Article Source: FBI Maryland - U.S. Attorney's OfficeBALTIMORE—William Allen Darden, age 44, of Washington, D.C., pleaded guilty today to conspiring to commit bank fraud in connection with a scheme to fraudulently obtain over $1.399 million from a Baltimore Housing Authority (BHA) bank account in just a few months.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to his guilty plea, in early 2010 Darden agreed to participate in a scheme to use the identity of co-defendant Keith Daughtry to open a bank account into which funds stolen from the BHA would be illegally diverted. On May 19, 2010, Darden used Daughtry’s identity to obtain a fraudulent driver’s license in Daughtry’s name, but bearing Darden’s photograph. The conspirators had this fraudulent driver’s license made with Darden’s photo so that if law enforcement were to track down Daughtry through the fraudulent license’s use, Daughtry could claim that his identity had been stolen.
