Xavier Booker, a 38-year-old resident of New York City, pleaded guilty on January 29, 2026, to aiding and abetting a false statement on a loan and credit application. He was sentenced to time served in federal court.

Court documents show that on November 27, 2024, Booker used a false North Carolina driver’s license at a federal credit union in Parkersburg. The intent was to obtain funds from a loan that had been fraudulently applied for using the name on the fake identification.

United States Attorney Moore Capito announced the plea and sentencing. Capito also recognized the investigative work of the Parkersburg Police Department and support from the West Virginia Fusion Center.

The case was heard by United States District Judge Thomas E. Johnston, who imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer D. Gordon prosecuted the matter.
