Authorities have added four more insurance fraud charges to those already lodged against an city official in coastal Alabama.
Prichard City Councilman Derrick Griffin last week was indicted by a grand jury for the second time in four months. In December, he was charged with making fraudulent representations on the purchase of a BMW automobile.
On Thursday, the grand jury said he also misrepresented to insurance companies his ownership of an Acura, a Ford van, another BMW and a Nissan Frontier, according to local news reports.
The charges, if they result in a conviction, carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, authorities said.
