CDI Investigation Leads to Arrest

Tamane Jamar Johnson, 29, was charged with one felony count of insurance fraud. If convicted, Johnson could face up to five years in state prison and a maximum fine of $50,000. Bail was set at $10,000.

According to investigators, Johnson reported his vehicle vandalized and audio equipment stolen from inside the vehicle. The alleged stolen items reported to CSAA Insurance included two sets of audio speakers, two amps and an in-dash TV/DVD. Upon inspection it was determined that the vehicle did not have the appropriate wiring to
support the alleged stolen equipment.

Later, Johnson reportedly submitted an altered receipt to the insurance company in an attempt to legitimize the claim. This investigation revealed that the receipt used was only an estimate and not an actual purchase receipt. The purported stolen items were never originally purchased or installed in Johnson’s vehicle.
