CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A Charlotte woman is facing one felony charge for insurance fraud related to a vehicle crash last year.
Peebles Laverne Love Johnson, 33, is accused of submitting a fraudulent claim to Sentry Insurance Company.
Johnson allegedly claimed that she was driving her Toyota Sequoia with a passenger when it was involved in a crash. However, it was determined that she was not in the vehicle at the time of the crash, according to the criminal summons.
“Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime,” Commissioner Causey said. “It hits all of us in the pocket through higher premiums.”
The vehicle crash happened on May 29th, 2023. Johnson is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
