Material Misrepresentation and False Claim — Iowa
Amount: Unknown
A Des Moines woman has been charged with two counts of insurance fraud for presenting false information. The charges stem from a 2019 investigation by the Iowa Insurance Division's Fraud Bureau. She made false statements on an application for insurance coverage and subsequently filed a fraudulent insurance claim to her insurance company in which she sought proceeds to which she was not entitled. An arrest warrant went out at the end of August, and she was arrested and booked into jail. A trial will be set for a later date.
