Rashad Al-Terek Walker, a 39-year-old man from Hampton, Virginia, has been charged with making a false statement on a loan application and aggravated identity theft in connection with a loan he applied for in Massachusetts.
Walker, who was on federal supervised release for a previous conviction at the time of the alleged offense, applied for a personal loan in the amount of $16,500 at a Worcester-area credit union in November 2019.
According to the charging documents, Walker presented a utility bill, paystub, and Massachusetts driver’s license using a stolen identity as part of the loan application.
At the time of the alleged offense, Walker was on supervised release following a conviction in the Eastern District of Virginia for conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
The charge of false information on a loan application provides for a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $1 million.
The charge of aggravated identity theft provides for a mandatory sentence of two years in prison to be served consecutive to any other sentence imposed and one year of supervised release.
Walker was detained following an initial appearance via videoconference. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John T. Mulcahy of U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling’s Worcester Branch Office.
