TRENTON
- Attorney General Anne Milgram and Criminal
Justice Director Deborah L. Gramiccioni announced
that a Trenton man was sentenced today for
insurance fraud.
According
to Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Greta Gooden
Brown, Ramsey Naylor, 31, of Trenton, was
ordered by Superior Court Judge Thomas P.
Kelly in Mercer County to serve three years
probation and pay a $2,500 civil insurance
fraud fine. Naylor pleaded guilty to a charge
of insurance fraud contained in a Jan. 4,
2008 Mercer County grand jury indictment.
Carrie Martin, 26, of Trenton, was named in
the same indictment. On Nov. 21, Martin pleaded
guilty to a disorderly person’s offense
of attempted theft by deception and was sentenced
to one year of probation. Martin was fined
$1,500.
At
his Nov. 13 guilty plea hearing, Naylor admitted
that between Sept. 21, 2003 and Jan. 23, 2004,
he submitted a fraudulent insurance claim
to Rider Insurance Company for the theft of
a 2003 Yamaha motorcycle. He falsely reported
that the motorcycle was stolen after an insurance
policy had been purchased for it, when, in
fact, the motorcycle was stolen before it
was covered by an insurance policy. Martin
admitted she provided information she knew
was false in support of the claim. Naylor
also submitted a falsified police report concerning
the date of the theft.
Detective
Lisa Egan and Deputy Attorney General Joseph
Egan were assigned to the investigation. Deputy
Attorney General John Higgins represented
the state at the sentencing.
The
case was referred to OIFP by the Special Investigative
Unit of Rider Insurance Company, which initially
uncovered the fraud and assisted OIFP in the
investigation. Insurance Fraud Prosecutor
Brown thanked Rider for their assistance in
this matter.
