Woman Arrested From Washington Insurance Commissioner’s Most Wanted List

An Everett woman on Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler’s Insurance Fraud Most Wanted list who failed to appear for her arraignment has been arrested.

Shawndlyn Williams, who also goes by Shawndlyn Dyson, was charged by the King County Prosecutor’s Office with one count of filing a fraudulent insurance claim.

Williams was charged after an investigation by Kreidler’s Criminal Investigation Unit into a June 2019 incident in which a King County Metro bus was sideswiped by a smaller shuttle bus. Williams reportedly claimed to have sustained injuries in the collision. She hired an attorney and filed a claim for $19,684.20 in damages with King County’s Office of Risk Management to cover medical bills, wage loss and general damages.

However, investigators say video from the metro bus showed Williams was not present on the bus at the time of the collision. Williams’ claim was denied and Philadelphia Insurance, which insured King County Metro, reported the claim to CIU.

A bench warrant was issued after Williams failed to appear for her arraignment. CIU detectives arrested Williams at her place of employment. She was taken into custody and booked into King County Jail.
