West Virginia Woman Pleads Guilty to Staging Accident For Insurance
Federal authorities say that a 56-year-old Fairmont woman has pleaded guilty to fraud, admitting she participated in a staged vehicle accident, faked injuries and filed a false insurance claim.
Prosecutors say Robin Stoneking’s false insurance claim in 2013 in Marion County resulted in a $41,000 settlement.
She could face up to 20 years in prison at sentencing.
The West Virginia Insurance Commission Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigated.
