A multicounty grand jury in Oklahoma named Opal Ellis in an indictment that charges the former Oklahoma Insurance Department employee with four counts of making a false, fictitious or fraudulent claim, Attorney General Drew Edmondson said. Ellis, the former special assistant to former Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher, was indicted as a result of the grand jury’s ongoing investigation into Fisher’s activities while at the insurance department. According to the indictment, Ellis filed four different time sheets between October 2001 and October 2002, seeking payment for time she allegedly did not work. “The time sheets reflect 128 allegedly bogus hours,” Edmondson said. “Ellis was paid $3,504.64 in state funds for those hours.”
