Denise Hargrove of Raleigh, N.C. has been sentenced to from four to five-and-a-half years in prison and one year of probation for insurance fraud. Hargrove, a former Department of Transportation employee, admitted she faked blindness to defraud insurance companies of disability money.
Judge Howard manning ordered Hargrove to work during her probation to attempt to pay back more than $700,000 she took from unsuspecting insurance companies. Hargrove forged letters from a doctor and a lawyer and used them to prove to insurers that she was disabled.
North Carolina Department of Insurance investigators arrested Hargrove in May when she had bought property.
