(AP) A former federal agent has pleaded guilty in Missouri to lying to the FBI about an $800,000 mortgage fraud scheme.

The U.S. Attorney’s office says 48-year-old Jeffrey Morriss, of Kansas City, entered the plea Friday in federal court. Prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence of three years’ probation and nearly $13,000 in restitution.

 Morriss was a special agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

Prosecutors said he lied about his income, child support obligations and other issues on four home loan applications for three houses between August 2007 and March 2012. He obtained $812,000 in home loans but failed to make full payments on them, resulting in three defaults and foreclosures.

In his plea, Morriss admitted lying to FBI agents during an interview about the loan applications.
