Collier deputies have arrested a 13th suspect in the case of an alleged insurance fraud ring in the county. Claudia M. Sanchez, 31, of the 3500 block of Winifred Row Lane in Golden Gate, turned herself in on Friday, the agency reported. She was wanted on a charge of scheme to defraud.
Sanchez is the 13th of 14 suspects arrested in the case, which extends from a year-long investigation targeting alleged fraudulant billing practices at four Collier chiropractic offices. Miguel Alberto Rodriguez, 43, of Golden Gate Estates is still being sought on charges of scheme to defraud and patient brokering. Deputies arrested 11 suspects on Wednesday.Detectives say the suspects worked with the clinics to stage minor auto accidents and then receive reimbursement for treatments neither needed nor provided.
