North Carolina officials arrested a Newport, N.C. woman and charged her with one count of embezzlement by an insurance agent, according to Insurance Commissioner Jim Long.
Heather Dawn Cagle, 34, who worked as an agent for Chalk & Gibbs insurance agency in Morehead City, N.C., allegedly embezzled nearly $16,000 in insurance premiums paid by clients, Long reported.
The clients’ insurance premiums were allegedly left unpaid, and they were at risk of losing their coverage, Long said.
