An investigation by CDI’s Fraud Division resulted in the arrest of Kenneth Michael Stockton, 33, of Modesto, Calif.
According to investigators, Stockton allegedly injured his back while working for Trans-Box Systems on Jan. 28, 1993 and settled a claim in 1995, which included future medical treatment.
In 1999 he received his last treatment and reopened his future medical claim in 2001. Stockton allegedly reported that he had not suffered any subsequent back injuries since his Jan. 28, 1993 injury.
The investigation also revealed that Stockton had also filed a workers’ compensation claim on Jan. 30, 2000, while working for Smart & Final. He made erroneous material representations in relation to the original 1995 claim. While reopening the 1995 injury claim, he indicated that he had not been injured since the 1995 injury.
As a result of his supposed fraudulent misrepresentation, Stockton received in excess of $4,984. Bail is set at $10,000. If convicted, he could receive a five-year sentence in state prison and/or a fine of $50,000.
