Owensboro Man Indicted for Bank Fraud
Defendant Charged with Making False Statement to a Financial Institution

OWENSBORO, KY—A federal grand jury in Bowling Green returned an indictment on March 3, 2010, against Thomas E. Igleheart, age 50, of Owensboro, Kentucky, in Daviess County, on charges of making a false statement to a federally insured financial institution in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1014, United States Attorney Candace G. Hill of the Western District of Kentucky announced today.

The Indictment alleges that on or about August 10, 2006, Igleheart made a false statement to Integra Bank in connection with a change and extension of a line of credit made as part of a Floor Plan Loan and Security Agreement by submitting false business tax returns to the bank which overstated his gross receipt or sales for 2005 by a substantial amount.

In the event of a conviction, the maximum potential penalties are 30 years’ imprisonment, a $1,000,000 fine, and supervised release for a period of not more than five years.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Marisa J. Ford, and it was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Igleheart is scheduled to appear for arraignment before the United States Magistrate Judge on March 18, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., in U.S. District Court in Owensboro, Kentucky.
