A North Carolina couple has been charged with faking an accident and medical records in filing an insurance claim.
Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin last week announced the arrests of James Arnold Seals, 42, of Fayetteville, and Lisa Renee Strickland Seals, 45, of the same address.
Department of Insurance criminal investigators allege that on Sept. 3, 2013, the couple reported a fictitious motor vehicle accident to their insurance company and provided altered medical bills to Peak Property and Casualty Insurance Co. for which they were paid approximately $3,000.
James Seals was arrested on Nov. 30 and charged with one count each of insurance fraud and obtaining property by false pretense. He was placed under a $10,000 bond, officials said.
