Bail bondsman Ray Zapata of San Angelo, Texas, has been indicted in connection to allegations that he forged the will of John Edward Sullivan, who died last year. Defense attorney John Young has also been indicted in the case, which charges the two men with multiple offenses including forgery, aggravated perjury, and theft. Young was named in Sullivan’s allegedly forged will as the sole beneficiary of Sullivan’s estate valued at over $5 million. At the time of Sullivan’s death, Young was his defense attorney in a case regarding child pornography and online solicitation charges against Sullivan.
