TRENTON - Attorney General Paula T. Dow and Criminal Justice Director Stephen J. Taylor announced that a West Orange man was sentenced today for filing a false insurance claim.

According to Acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Riza Dagli, Lee D. Beamon, Jr., 43, of West Orange, was sentenced to 30 days in county jail as a condition of one year of probation by Superior Court Judge N. Peter Conforti in Sussex County. Beamon’s sentence was based on his guilty plea to third-degree insurance fraud. Beamon was charged in a Jan. 21 Sussex County grand jury indictment.

In pleading guilty on June 7, Beamon admitted that between Aug. 27, 2005 and Aug. 6, 2006, he made false and misleading statements in support of a claim he filed with Franklin Mutual Insurance Company for payment for property purportedly stolen in August 2005. Beamon admitted that he submitted a claim application form containing false information regarding the date of a purported theft of the contents of the trunk of his 2004 Infiniti, including some jewelry and a lap-top computer. Beamon initially filed a police report claiming that a theft of property occurred on Aug. 27, 2005. On Aug. 28, 2005, Beamon obtained a homeowner’s insurance policy from Franklin Mutual Insurance Company which covered the contents of the trunk. He then filed the fraudulent documentation, claiming that the contents of the trunk were stolen on Aug. 29, 2005. An investigation determined that Beamon also altered an Irvington Police Department police report to support the false date he indicated. Franklin Mutual Insurance Company denied the claim and referred the matter to the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor.

Detective Ned Shaw, Civil Investigator James Stavola, and Deputy Attorney General Dennis Kwasnik were assigned to the investigation. Deputy Attorney General Kwasnik represented the state at the sentencing. Acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Dagli thanked the Franklin Mutual Insurance Company for its assistance in this investigation.
