RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A former Richmond developer awaiting sentencing for fraudulently obtaining historic tax credits has pleaded guilty to two additional charges.
Billy Gene Jefferson Jr. pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to unlawful transfer of a false identification document and aggravated identity theft. According to prosecutors, Jefferson created a fake Arkansas driver’s license and tried to use it to charter a one-way flight to England in November. He faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 for those offenses.
