Wilson was employed at the federal HUD office in Kansas City. HUD made the decision to close down the office. For nearly two years, there was very little work to do in the office. Wilson worked on closing the office, but for two years had a great deal
of free time on the job. As a result, Wilson devoted much of his work time to building up his business called "The Woodworks." He had HUD secretaries type his business plan and other documents. He was charged with conversion of government services. Wilson claims he used government resources only when no other tasks were assigned. Should he be convicted?
In U.S. v. Wilson, 636 F.2d 225 (8th Cir. 1980), the court held Wilson did not have the requisite intent to divert government resources. He may have committed a mistake in judgment but his conduct was not criminal.
