College Student Faces 10 Years for Fraud

August 19, 2002

A San Bernardino Valley Community College student was arrested by California Department of Insurance (CDI) Fraud Investigators and campus police officers as he was on his way to one of his classes.

Terry Mcgee, 38, of San Bernardino, was booked on one felony count of insurance fraud with bail set at $60,000. An investigation revealed that Mcgee allegedly filed an insurance claim for a property loss from a purported burglary that occurred to his home. His insurer, Insurance Company of the West, later received information that the items allegedly stolen in the burglary were reportedly pawned instead. The items claimed as stolen were the items located at a pawnshop.
