PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal officials have arrested former KOIN television news director Jeff Alan after he was indicted on charges of fraud and making false statements.
The Oregonian newspaper reports that agents arrested Alan at his Portland home early Thursday. He is to be arraigned in federal court Friday afternoon on charges he knowingly used false information while doing business with banks, the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration.
The newspaper says the charges are related to allegations that Alan had used a false Social Security number since at least 1992. Alan led KOIN’s news operation from 2006 to 2008, and was the subject of an Oregonian investigative series published in April 2009.
