SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Sioux City woman has been charged with insurance fraud, accused of lying to her insurer about the date of an accident.
Woodbury County District Court records say 42-year-old Jennifer Fuentes is charged with felony insurance fraud for a false submission. She didn’t immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press. The court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.
A criminal complaint says Fuentes’ vehicle struck another vehicle on Feb. 16 when she backed out of a parking stall at work. The complaint says she applied that evening for insurance to cover her vehicle. Then, the complaint says, she filed a claim Feb. 19 with her new insurer. She reported that the accident had occurred that day, instead of Feb. 16, before she applied for coverage.
