Federal authorities have arrested a Houston woman accused of bilking former NFL running back Ricky Williams and several other athletes out of millions of dollars.

According to NOLA.com, authorities arrested Peggy Ann Fulford, 58, in New Orleans on Friday. An eight-count indictment charges Fulford with wire fraud, mail fraud, interstate transportation of stolen property and money laundering.

The indictment claims that Fulford lied about her educational background and that she told the athletes she had made millions of dollars buying and selling hospitals and real estate.

Fulford offered to manage Williams and the other unidentified players' personal finances without charging a fee, claiming she "just wanted to protect them."

Instead, the indictment claims Fulford laundered the money through dozens of bank accounts and spent it on her own real estate, luxury cars, jewelry and other items.

The Houston Chronicle reported Friday that Williams and his wife are seeking $2 million to $4 million in damages from Fulford.

Although the three other athletes allegedly frauded by Fulford were not identified in the indictment, TMZ.com reported in 2015 that former NBA star Dennis Rodman had fired his business manager, Peggy King — one of more than a half-dozen aliases allegedly used by Fulford — claiming she had deceived him and stolen money.

Williams, who won the 1998 Heisman Trophy while at the University of Texas, played 11 seasons in the NFL, primarily with the Saints and Dolphins. He finished his career with 10,009 rushing yards and 74 touchdowns.
