Metro Police Lt. Juanita Goode was charged in Las Vegas Justice Court today for one count each of theft, burglary and forgery, all felony crimes, according to a statement from the department.
Goode, 39, employed by Metro Police since 1992, was placed on paid administrative leave on March 9. There is ongoing criminal and internal investigations into alleged mortgage fraud by Goode, police said.
The case against Goode charges her with falsifying her total income in order to qualify for a home loan.
Goode is not considered a flight risk or a danger to the community, police said.
Three co-defendants charged along with Goode in the case are not Metro Police employees, the department's statement said. Two of three were licensed mortgage professionals.
Your comment JJ clearly shows how many people do not understand the reprecussions of falsifying loan documents. Plus it is a CRIME. Maybe if homeowners did not lie, took time to understand the documents, and just used common sense; then Nevada and the rest of the country would not be in the housing mess that is crumbling this country's economic growth.
Have some integrity and character and admit that you can not offord the $315K starter home that was common in this county, and accept the $220K exsisting house as a good housing start. Don't be a fool and a horse's butt by lying.
I am glad that she is being prosecuted, she is supposed to uphold the law as an officer, and lying on loan docs is a crime (maybe you should read the documents. Law enforcement officers are not above the law.
These greedy people tried to get on the gravy train and lost. Boo Hoo thats life stop trying to blame someone.
