North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced that Isaac Lee Walker, 19, of 130 Charlotte Drive Extension, Lexington, was charged with insurance fraud, a felony.

Special agents with the Department of Insurance’s Criminal Investigations Division accuse Walker of providing false information, saying that there was no pre-existing or unrepaired damage to the left side of his Honda Accord, in a claim with Allstate Property and Casualty Co.

The offense occurred on May 16.

A criminal summons was served on Walker on Sept. 30. He is scheduled to appear in Davidson County District Court on Nov. 25.

Commissioner Causey encourages North Carolinians to help keep insurance premiums low by reporting suspicious fraud.

“Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime,” Commissioner Causey said. “It hits all of us in the pocket through higher premiums.”

If you suspect insurance fraud or other white-collar crimes, please report it. You may anonymously report fraud by calling the N.C. Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840 or toll free from anywhere in North Carolina at 888-680-7684.
