An Oklahoma man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for insurance fraud, the state attorney general’s office reported.
LaTroy Staglin was sentenced after being convicted on nine felony counts of submitting a false insurance claim.
According to the AG’s office, Staglin would wait in store parking lots around the Oklahoma City metro area, and intentionally cause wrecks that resulted in the other party paying for his claim.
Many of his victims were elderly.
Video surveillance from some parking lots showed that Staglin would drive up and down the aisles of parking lots looking for the opportunity to engage in an accident with someone backing out of a parking spot.
Staglin, operating under various aliases, used these tactics from August 2014 to January 2015.
He was also convicted and sentenced to a prison term in 2009 for committing the same type of fraud, the AG’s office said.
