HATTIESBURG, Mississippi – (AP) — A bond revocation hearing is scheduled Tuesday for a man charged in Mississippi with fraud related to a federal housing program for the poor and elderly.
Timothy Shane Bryant and Angela Bryant were indicted May 29. The indictment says she was a bookkeeper at a business that managed properties for people in a U.S. Department of Agriculture housing program.
The indictment says she wrote checks to Timothy Bryant and forged the business owner’s name. The business is not identified in the indictment. Authorities say the scheme happened from June to November 2011 in Forrest County.
The indictment says Angela Bryant intercepted bank statements and altered them to conceal the scheme.
Prosecutors are seeking the forfeiture of more than $113,000.
They pleaded guilty Aug. 15 and were set for sentencing Nov. 7.
Timothy Bryant was arrested Thursday and charged with violating a court order, though court records didn’t describe the violation.
He was free on a $25,000 bond. The bond revocation hearing is scheduled to take place in U.S. District Court in Hattiesburg.
