A staffer for Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) was arrested after he was caught posing as an FBI agent at a Trump rally in Washington D.C. on November 14, 2020.
The staff member, Sterling Devion Carter, is also accused of leading Secret Service on a chase after he was discovered.
Carter resigned in disgrace after it emerged that he was the suspect authorities were looking for.
A former Democrat congressional staffer for Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) has been sentenced to nine months in federal prison for stealing taxpayer funds.
U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols sentenced Schneider’s ex-staff member, Sterling Devion Carter, to prison after he pleaded guilty to the charges.
Prosecutors in the case said Carter was “selfishly” stealing public money to “illegally enrich himself.”
However, it could have been a lot worse for the young Democrat because he was also arrested for posing as an FBI agent.
In a court memo, federal prosecutors said: “Instead of taking this responsibility seriously, the defendant decided to selfishly use that responsibility to illegally enrich himself, including using his ill-gotten gains to further his other crimes including through the purchase of a vehicle and a federal firearms license.”
