A notorious New York City bishop with a criminal record and a long trail of questions about his lavish lifestyle is now facing federal fraud and extortion charges.

Lamor Whitehead was arrested Monday morning on an indictment out of Manhattan, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Whitehead - who garnered international attention earlier this year after being robbed of $1 million of jewelry on a livestreamed Sunday service - allegedly defrauded a parishioner out of $90,000 in retirement savings to buy himself luxury goods. 

In another instance, prosecutors say Whitehead extorted $5,000 from a businessman, and then tried to get the same person to lend him $500,000 in exchange "for favorable actions from the New York City government, which Whitehead knew he could not obtain."

(Whitehead is well known to have a long-standing and close relationship with Mayor Eric Adams, who the bishop has publicly described as a "mentor, brother and friend.")

Prosecutors also allege Whitehead lied about having multiple cell phones during the execution of a search warrant by the FBI. It was not immediately clear when that happened.

Whitehead, 45, of Paramus, who previously served five years in prison on identity theft charges, now faces up to 20 years in prison on each of the wire fraud and extortion charges.
