A Bronx man was indicted for stealing a Justice Department lawyer’s identity to buy two big-ticket Beemers at a Westchester dealership, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Anthony Williams, 29, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday after being slapped with a 19-count indictment alleging he used the stolen identity to finance the luxury cars — a BMW 650xi and a BMW X6 — with a total value of more than $186,000, according to the Westchester County District Attorney’s office.
He bought the vehicles on two separate dates at Ray Catena BMW in Greenburgh using a forged Maryland driver’s license in the DOJ attorney’s name, prosecutors said.
Authorities didn’t say when the lawyer’s ID was stolen or the cars were purchased.
Greenburgh Police Department detectives busted Williams last May in Brooklyn while he was in possession of one of the vehicles.
Williams has been charged with 13 felonies including grand larceny, identity theft and forgery.
He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
