According to the indictment, Field impersonated an FBI special agent in an attempt to defraud Ally Bank out of $93,462.56. Around April 22, he allegedly used another person's information, such as name, birthday, and social security number, so he could go through with the scheme.

If Field is convicted, he could face up to 30 years in federal prison and a possible $1 million maximum fine, while the impersonating a federal officer charge carries a max three-year sentence and up to $250,000 as a potential fine.

He also faces another two years if convicted of identity theft, which must be served consecutively to any other prison term imposed.
