Three Modesto residents, Johnny B. Slefo, 42; Wylet G. Slefo, 42; and Bernadet Younan, 37, were arrested on one charge each of insurance fraud and booked into the Stanislaus County Jail. Bail was set at $15,000 each. The Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the case.
According to investigators, Johnny Slefo was the insured driver in a staged vehicle accident. Wylet Slefo and Bernadet Younan were passengers in the vehicle. All three made insurance claims with Farmers Insurance Group for medical treatment.
The three suspects alleged they were the victims of a hit-and-run vehicle accident. They stated to Farmers adjusters that a truck sideswiped their vehicle, causing damage to that vehicle and all aboard.
Farmers had the vehicle inspected by a forensics engineer. The engineer reconstructed the accident and concluded it could not have happened as described by the three passengers, and, therefore, the damage and injuries did not occur as claimed.
The total amount that was submitted to Farmers Insurance Group as a result of this fraudulent activity was $9,041.
