Arkansas Man Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Insurance Fraud

An Arkansas man has been sentenced for 15 years in prison for two counts of insurance fraud, the state insurance department announced.

Cody Martin, 29, pleaded guilty in Pulaski County Circuit Court in January to two counts of insurance fraud involving making a false claim in 2011 involving an all-terrain vehicle, and providing a judge with an altered insurance card in 2012.

Both counts were Class D felonies.

“Insurance fraud hurts all Arkansans with higher rates passed on to our neighbors and friends. I commend the work of our Criminal Investigation Division which led to this guilty plea and sentencing,” said Arkansas Insurance Commissioner Allen Kerr.
