Former NFL player Irving Fryar and his mother pleaded not guilty Tuesday, Jan. 21, to charges that they conspired to steal more than $690,000 through a mortgage scam. State prosecutors allege Fryar’s 80-year-old mother, Allene McGhee, of Willingboro, N.C., submitted false information to obtain five loans on her home within a six-day period. The two were indicted on counts of conspiracy and theft by deception. The former wide receiver played for four NFL teams between 1984 and 2000, including the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.
