September 25, 2014

Texas Mutual Insurance Co. reported that a Travis County district court sentenced Anthony Stokes and Mario Williams of Little Elm, Texas, for workers’ compensation fraud-related charges.

Stokes and Williams were sentenced to one year deferred adjudication and ordered to pay $41,844 in restitution to Texas Mutual.

Lone Star Construction, located in Dallas, obtained workers’ compensation coverage through Texas Mutual between the period of Jan. 26, 2011, and Oct. 19, 2012. Texas Mutual alleged that during this period, owners Stokes and Williams intentionally misrepresented the number of employees and amount of payroll associated with the company by reporting contract laborers as subcontractors.
