Kentucky Insurance officials charged a Shelbyville woman with insurance fraud as a result of collecting more than $3,000 in workers’ compensation benefits.
Tanya Garitty, 38, told her employer she was unable to work after an accident but allegedly worked as a phlebotomist at a local hospital while drawing benefits.
Garitty was charged with one felony count of insurance fraud. If found guilty, she faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and/or a fine of $10,000.
A pre-trial conference date is set for Jan. 22 in Jefferson Circuit Court.
