Investigators with CDI Investigations Branch arrested Juvencio Salazar, 38, of Fresno, on June 17 on a $5,000 felony warrant. Salazar is charged with a single count of insurance fraud and could face up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $50,000.
The case was initiated after the Fresno Unified School District (FUSD) suspected fraudulent activity in a workers’ comp claim filed by Salazar in 2001. Investigators then examined and detected fraudulent activity in a prior workers’ comp claim filed by Salazar in May 1994.
In April 1996, Salazar submitted to an Agreed Medical Examination (AMA), during which he complained of pain in the lower back and upper extremities, and continuous pain in his wrist and hand. Salazar was precluded from heavy work and declared approximately 25 percent disabled. Less than a month after the AMA, Salazar underwent a pre-employment medical examination for the FUSD; he reportedly denied any disorders or disabilities and was hired.
