San Bernardino, Calif., District Attorney Investigators, working with the Newport Beach Police Department, recently arrested Michael David Hebert, 38, of Newport Beach, Calif., on suspicion of committing automobile insurance fraud.
On April 17, 2004, Hebert’s 2004 Mitsubishi Galant was involved in a hit and run accident with a semi truck and trailer on SR 60 near Archibald Ave., in the city of Ontario, Calif. The accident was investigated by the California Highway Patrol, which identified Hebert as the Mitsubishi’s driver. Hebert reportedly left the scene on foot prior to CHP’s arrival. The Mitsubishi was not drivable. Officials said Hebert reported his vehicle as stolen and submitted an insurance claim.
After an investigation by the District Attorney’s Office, several counts of insurance fraud were filed against Hebert, and a felony warrant was issued for his arrest.
District Attorney Investigators drove to Newport Beach and contacted detectives. Newport Beach detectives located Hebert’s place of employment and arrested him without incident.
Hebert was turned over to District Attorney Investigators and was booked into Newport Beach city jail on the felony warrant. Bail was set at $100,000.
