The CDI Fraud Division arrested Shauna M. Lewis, 28, of Fair Oaks, Calif. and charged her with one felony count of insurance fraud. She was booked into the Sacramento County Jail and bail was set at $30,000.
Investigators said that Lewis was involved in a traffic collision on Dec. 14, 2001, at about 1:55 p.m. She allegedly told the other party that she had auto insurance with Infinity Insurance, which had actually been cancelled. Fifty minutes after the accident, at 2:45 p.m., Lewis contacted Western General Insurance Company and purchased an insurance policy. Shortly thereafter, she reported the above accident as occurring on Dec. 14, 2001, at 3:30 p.m.
The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the case. Lewis could face up to five years in state prison and/or a maximum fine of $50,000 if convicted.
