Insurance Fraud Fugitive Arrested

A fugitive, Daniel Gray, 43, was arrested on two felony counts of insurance fraud at a Sacramento courthouse, after appearing for an unrelated matter.

In Feb. 2001, the United Services Automobile Association (USAA), reported to the Fraud Division of the CDI, that on July 25, 2000, Gray allegedly submitted an automobile claim for the supposed vandalism of his 1996 Ford F-150 truck. Also, he reported the theft of a car stereo system, a computer laptop, radar detector, global positioning system (GPS), and compact discs.

According to investigators, Gray submitted fraudulent receipts to USAA totaling $3,845.92 in order to receive stipends he was not entitled to.

If convicted, Gray faces up to five years on state prison and/or a maximum fine of $50,000. Bail was set at $5,000.
