FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) - A woman who allegedly defrauded a Farmington business of more than $11,500 is facing new charges.
Police say Brittany Lanier was arrested this week on suspicion of filing more than $21,000 in false insurance claims on an apartment fire and stolen laptop.
She’s accused of filing false insurance claims for $20,000 and about $1,300 and defrauding a Farmington insurance office of nearly $1,600.
The Farmington Daily Times reports Lanier now has a total of 15 felony charges pending involving five cases.
She has a lawyer for two of her pending cases, but it’s unclear who is representing Lanier for the three new cases.
Lanier has a status hearing scheduled for Oct. 31 in Farmington Magistrate Court.
