KANSAS CITY, Mo. —

A Kansas City, Missouri, man who operates a non-profit agency has pleaded guilty in federal court after making false claims that he employed convicted felons on federal court-supervised release.

Michael A. Green, 51, pleaded guilty on Tuesday, Aug. 16, to one count of transferring a false identification document and one count of making false statements to a federal probation officer.

By pleading guilty, the Department of Justice says Green admitted that he told a federal probation officer on May 6, 2019, that Kansas City Community Source, Inc., a non-profit corporation operated by Green, had hired the probation officer’s supervisee.

Kansas City Community Source claims to employ convicted felons after release from incarceration. Various individuals under court-ordered supervision reported Kansas City Community Source as their employer in order to fulfill their employment obligations.

Green’s statements to the probation officer were false.

The supervisee was never employed by Green or by Kansas City Community Source. Instead, Green created false pay stubs for a fee.

Green also admitted that he sold fake pay stubs and sold a false Texas driver’s license to the same individual for $800.
