Our friends at Fox News share:

Nicholas Anthony Williams, 37, of Houston, pleaded guilty to theft of personal property and providing false statements. The charges stem from incidents that occurred between March 2022 and July 2023. During this period, while serving as an FBI special agent in the Houston field office, Williams allegedly stole money and property from multiple residences during authorized searches. He then kept the stolen items for personal use.

In addition to the thefts, Williams also admitted to making false statements about unauthorized charges on his government-issued credit card.
