The former automotive fleet program coordinator for FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., has pled guilty to defrauding the government by authorizing inflated or fictitious services on a government purchase card.
Timothy Carl Johnson of Fort Washington, Maryland, was responsible for government vehicle upkeep, which included soliciting local vendors to perform routine maintenance, tow, repair and detail work. As part of a guilty plea on Jan. 30, 2017, Johnson admitted that, from 2011 through January 2016, he conspired with some of these vendors to misreport services rendered and costs associated before charging them to his purchase card and accepting the proceeds from coconspirators in cash.
Johnson will pay restitution of at least $20,995 and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for June 6, 2017.
