Baton Rouge Woman Booked on 39 Counts of Felony Theft

Baton Rouge – Louisiana State Troopers working in the Insurance Fraud Unit arrested a Baton Rouge woman yesterday after a nearly five-month investigation into her fraudulent activities while working as an office manager of Advance Chiropractic in Baton Rouge. Troopers began the investigation after receiving a complaint from the Office of Disciplinary Council in February. The complaint centered on suspected criminal activity between Attorney Kevin L. Hanchey and Juanita S. Boyd (B/F, age 41) of Baton Rouge. Kevin Hanchey is a personal injury attorney in Baton Rouge who routinely sent clients to see Dr. Doyle Johnson at Advance Chiropractic for treatment. Boyd was Dr. Johnson’s employee at Advance Chiropractic. State Police detectives’ investigation revealed that thirty-nine (39) checks had been written from Hanchey directly to Juanita Boyd from 2007 to 2009, totaling over seventy-seven thousand dollars. These checks coincide with insurance settlements between Mr. Hanchey and numerous insurance companies for his clients. The clients were listed in the description portion of the check and received treatment at Advance Chiropractic for injuries. It appeared Boyd then cashed the checks at Mr. Hanchey’s bank soon after and never reported the payments to Advance Chiropractic.

The Troopers’ investigation concluded that Boyd cashed and kept thirty-nine checks worth $77,135.21, which was payment for care received at Advance Chiropractic. Boyd stole money that was due to Dr. Johnson for medical services he provided. Troopers arrested Boyd and booked her into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on the charge of Felony Theft (39 counts).
