Anyone considering committing auto insurance fraud should really think twice. Clearly, it is wrong on many levels, and the penalties are steeper than many realize. Take, for example, the indictment of Kim Falle, and it was not the only indictment. That particular indictment was announced on Monday in New Hampshire for Falle's part in automobile insurance fraud.

Kim Falle, age 42, was indicted on one count of Insurance Fraud. Falle had an insurance policy with Peerless Insurance Company. However, Falle's husband had a suspended license and was not insurable. Falle told the insurance company that her husband does not drive and would not be driving the insured vehicle. Not only did he drive, but when he was involved in an accident, Falle claimed that she was the driver involved in that accident in order to collect from the insurance company. Falle has now been charged with a Class "A" felony "A Class "A" felony charge carries a maximum penalty of 7½-15 years incarceration and a fine of $4,000 or an amount not to exceed double the amount of property gained in the commission of a felony." Not her proudest moment, no doubt.
