An Atlanta-based activist is facing federal charges in Ohio after allegedly spending more than $200,000 in donations intended for the Black Lives Matter movement on personal purchases.

The FBI said Sir Maejor Page, who also goes by the name Tyree Conyers-Page, is charged with one count of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering. The 32-year-old social justice activist was arrested on Friday morning in Toledo, Ohio.
