New Orleans Woman Arrested for Insurance Fraud

Troop B – On November 3, 2010, Louisiana State Police Troopers assigned to the Bureau of Investigations Insurance Fraud / Auto Theft Unit arrested Georgianna J. Wilson (B/F, age 49) of New Orleans, LA on charges of Unauthorized Use of a Moveable and Automobile Insurance Fraud.

The arrest was the result of an investigation stemming from a complaint received from the National Insurance Crime Bureau on September 23, 2010. Through investigation, troopers found that Wilson owned a 2004 Toyota Corolla and reported the vehicle as flooded during Hurricane Katrina to 21st Century Insurance Company. Wilson signed over the title of the vehicle to 21st Century Insurance Company and received an approximate $13,000.00 cash settlement. The insurance company attempted to locate the vehicle after the settlement but, was unable to do so.

In July 2010, Wilson was involved in a motor vehicle crash in Jefferson Parish while she was driving the 2004 Toyota Corolla previously reported as flooded. An arrest warrant was obtained in Jefferson Parish and Wilson surrendered to troopers and was booked on the above charges at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center.

Please note that the 21st Century Insurance Company was purchased and is now part of the AIG Insurance Company.
