Impersonating a female lawyer

A Sullivan County grand jury has indicted a man for impersonating a female attorney.

Sullivan County sheriff's detective B.J. Richardson said Christopher Mayer, who also goes by Kristal Paris, misrepresented himself at the Sullivan County Jail.

"Ms. Paris stated her client had been in a fight and needed to be moved," Richardson said.

Corrections officers later determined that Mayer was romantically involved with the inmate, he said.

Mayer also appeared in court representing himself as an attorney.

There is no Kristal Paris listed as a licensed attorney in Tennessee, Richardson reported.

"She stated she was an attorney for the Navy a year ago and realized she had committed a crime and that she was sorry but she was just trying to help her boyfriend," Richardson said in a court document.

Mayer was released on a $10,000 bond.
