A Nashville FBI agent, who is married to a Christian gospel singer, has been indicted on host of fraud charges, including allegations he defrauded the SunTrust Mortgage Company to buy $1.25 million in rental properties in 2006, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville announced.
Additionally, the 19-count indictment issued Wednesday charged the FBI agent, Darin Lee McAllister, 44, of scheming to fraudulently obtain a $100,000 line of credit from the mortgage company.
The Nashville City Paper reported that the indictment alleged that McAllister falsely claimed he was president of Judah Music and DOJ Productions and earned $500,000 annually. His wife Judith Christie McAllister — a Christian gospel singer — is president and founder of Judah Music.
McAllister is credited with being ” executive producer or production coordinator on a few of his wife’s — Judith Christie McAllister — gospel albums, including In His Presence: Live!, Raise the Praise, and Send Judah First,” the paper reported.
Authorities also charged McAllister with making three false statements linked to his bankruptcy filing in 2009, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
McAllister, a resident of Brentwood, Tenn., is expected to surrender to the U.S. Marshals. An attempt to reach him by email for comment Thursday night was unsuccessful.
