Ex-NFL star, mom ordered to pay restitution in mortgage scam (The Associated Press)

MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. (AP) -- Former NFL star Irving Fryar and his mother have been ordered to pay $615,600 in restitution to five lending institutions that were cheated in a mortgage scam.

Fryar and his mother, Allene McGhee, were convicted in August of applying for multiple mortgage loans in quick succession while using the same property as collateral. Fryar was sentenced in October to five years in prison while his mother got three years of probation.

The restitution order was handed up Monday by a New Jersey judge. The pair will be allowed to make monthly payments.
