An Elizabethtown couple has been charged with insurance fraud, police reported today.

William B. Warren III, 29, and Tabitha Warren, 26, both of the 200 block of South Market Street, told police their vehicle was stolen from a street near their home overnight Aug. 10, Elizabethtown police said. The couple collected $2,800 from an insurance company after the claim.

An investigation determined the car had broken down and was undrivable, but wasn't stolen, police said.

The Warrens each face a felony charge of insurance fraud with a maximum penalty of seven years in prison, police said. Mr. Warren also was charged with unsworn falsification to authorities, and false reports.

Here we go two genius's who tried to scam the system and got caught. I am glad they got caught BS stunts like this is what makes our Insurance rates ridiculous. Blame the Insurance scammers and corporate greed for what we pay.

It's simple.
Insurance companies have better lobbyists than dead people.


That was good!

Lie and report your car stolen, and collect a couple thousand thru insurance fruad = 7 years in prision! (That's way too stiff a penalty)

Get drunk, drive car and kill someone = 7 years in prision! (This penalty isn't stiff enough)

What's wrong with our legal system?????Insurance companies rip 100's of people off every day none of them are in jail!


worse, sexually assault a little girl and get probation!
