The boyfriend of former NFL great Earl Thomas‘ ex-wife was arrested for stealing his identity in an alleged $1.9 million scam.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested 38-year-old New Orleans man Kevin J. Thompson, who is in a relationship with Thomas’ ex-wife, Nina Thomas, in June.
Thompson is accused of cashing Thomas’ NFL checks, stealing from his bank account & transferring car ownership for several vehicles.
He's charged with identity theft, forgery, money laundering, credit card fraud, computer fraud & bank fraud.
Thomas was a 7-time Pro Bowler, 3-time All-Pro & 1-time Super Bowl champion as a member of the Seahawks’ legendary “Legion of Boom” secondary.
His NFL career spanned from 2010-19.
Thompson allegedly used a forged driver’s license that had his own photo & Thomas’ information to make a bogus bank account & transfer auto titles, including 1 for a Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV, which he drove to the bank on the day he was arrested.
He is accused of transferring the titles to “several” vehicles & then selling them.
It is unclear how he got “physical possession” of the autos.
Thomas’ credit union in Texas detected suspicious activity at Jefferson Financial in June, notifying authorities that it was not Thomas who opened an account with the New Orleans bank.
Thompson was arrested a second time when he attempted to retrieve the Rolls-Royce on June 16 in a different vehicle that had been reported stolen.
He is free on $730,000 bond.
