Former Corrections Officer Going to Jail for Insurance Theft
A former state correctional officer from Baltimore has been sentenced in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County for felony theft of $25,000 to $100,000 and ordered to pay $50,251.66 in restitution, announced Attorney General Anthony G. Brown.
Prosecutors showed that between May 2018 and June 2021, Raquel Davis submitted 18 fraudulent claims under short-term disability and accident supplemental insurance policies that she had purchased with the American Family Life Assurance Co. of Columbus (AFLAC) while she was working as a correctional officer with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.
Prosecutors said Davis submitted disability claims with fraudulent documentation from doctors that she had either never seen or who had not indicated that she was disabled during the periods indicated in her claims. Davis also submitted fraudulent documentation from her workplace indicating that her disability leave was approved.
On November 21, 2024, Davis pleaded guilty to a single count of felony theft in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. Last week, the judge sentenced Davis to 10 years of incarceration, suspending all but six months. After her release from custody, Davis will be on supervised probation for five years. She is required to pay $50,251.66 in restitution to AFLAC.
