Couple accused of insurance fraud - baltimoresun.com: "A former Baltimore police officer and his wife reported crimes that never occurred to receive insurance payments they were never entitled to, according to a federal indictment unsealed yesterday.
Michael B. Nelson, 26, and his wife, Tierra Spencer Nelson, 23, were charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. The couple are accused of filing falsified reports on a car never stolen, a burglary that did not happen and a fictionalized traffic accident, court papers say. If convicted, they could receive up to 20 years in prison on each count of the five-count indictment.
Court papers say the scheme involved submitting falsified reports worth nearly $10,000 in insurance claims for the Nelsons. The couple also were paid fees by others to file fraudulent paperwork for them, according to the indictment."
