| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP L NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release May 28th, 2010 Pearl River Woman charged with Insurance Fraud On May 28th, 2010, investigators with the Louisiana State Police Insurance Fraud and Auto Theft Unit arrested Stephanie Marcussen, (W/F age 43) of Pearl River, LA, on the charges of Insurance Fraud and Felony Theft. The arrest resulted from an investigation into a complaint made by Bankers Life of Louisiana. The investigation revealed that Marcussen had purchased a credit disability insurance policy through Bankers Life of Louisiana on a personal loan she had with a lending company. The policy would cover the loan payments in the event she could not work due to a physical disability. In January of 2007, she filed a claim on the policy and Bankers Life began paying off her personal loan. In order to support the claim, she submitted medical documentation showing she was physically unable to work. In February of 2008, it was discovered the medical documentation submitted by Marcussen was fraudulent. She had been released by her doctor in April of 2007 and had been sending altered documents to Bankers Life in order to continue receiving payments on her personal loan. As a result, Bankers Life fraudulently paid $2,889.99 on the loan. Marcussen turned herself in and was booked without incident into the St. Tammany Parish Jail on the above charges.
