According to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle, a California sheriff’s correctional officer is in custody on suspicion of workers’ compensation fraud, booked on eight counts of insurance fraud.
It is alleged the individual made a workers’ compensation claim to the county stating he injured himself while fighting with an inmate.
An investigation determined the man’s version of how the injury happened was false, according to a statement released by the local sheriff and district attorney. (workersxzcompxzkit)
