DALLAS (AP) — Ex-Dallas Cowboy Eugene Lockhart Jr. has been jailed pending trial on an alleged $20 million mortgage fraud scam.
U.S. Magistrate Jeff Kaplan ordered Lockhart’s arrest Wednesday for allegedly hiding a public intoxication arrest from federal officials.
The Dallas Morning News says a woman who has known Lockhart for some time testified Tuesday that he told her to lie to the FBI after their October public-intoxication arrest and say she didn’t know him.
Lockhart was charged with mortgage fraud in 2009 and released pending trial. He was detained in July for failing a court-ordered drug test. Another judge released Lockhart, but ordered him to report any further arrests.
