The Florida Department of Financial Services’ Division of Insurance Fraud announced the arrests of Fort Lauderdale residents Kendrick Callins and Lashaunda Gibbs for staging an auto accident, patient brokering and personal injury protection (PIP) insurance fraud.
An investigation by the Division of Insurance Fraud, in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Broward County Sheriff’s Office and the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, revealed that Callins and Gibbs organized and participated in a staged accident that occurred on September 22, 2012, in Fort Lauderdale.
The accident involved participants, recruited by Callins and Gibbs, who intentionally drove a rented U-Haul truck into a passenger vehicle occupied by Callins and Gibbs. Fraudulent insurance claims were subsequently submitted to insurers who paid the claims.
Callins and Gibb each face a maximum sentence of 25 years. The case will be prosecuted by the office of 17th Judicial Circuit State Attorney Michael J. Satz.
