Former FBI Agent Pleads Guilty to Theft After Stealing From J6er During Search Warrant

A former FBI agent pleaded guilty to theft after stealing from several Houston residents while executing search warrants.

Former FBI agent Nicholas Anthony Williams, who worked as an FBI special agent in Houston since 2019, has been convicted of theft and providing false statements.

In these tough financial times, you need a company you can trust with stewardship of your life’s savings. We recommend self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals provided by Genesis, a faith-driven gold and silver company.

One Houston resident who Williams stole from was Alexander Fan, who was previously sent to one year of probation after climbing into the Capitol through a broken window.

After Williams and several other agents executed a search warrant at Fan’s residence, he filed a complaint that his silver and cash were missing.

In a statement, U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani shared, “Nicholas Williams betrayed that legacy and the community’s trust when he decided to pad his own pockets at the expense of a citizen’s rights.”

“Because no one is above the law, the system of justice that he once swore to protect will now seek to hold him to account for breaking that oath,” added Hamden.
