North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the arrest of Anitra Rozella Henderson, 36, of 1116 West Shore Court, Morrisville. Henderson was charged with insurance fraud and obtaining property by false pretense, both felonies.
Special agents with the Department of Insurance’s Criminal Investigations Division accuse Henderson of obtaining $6,154.52 from State Farm by providing falsified photos of damaged items and an invoice in a renters’ insurance claim.
According to the arrest warrant, the photos were downloaded from the internet and were not the actual photos of the items she owned.
The offense occurred on Nov. 17, 2023.
Henderson was arrested on May 30.
Commissioner Causey encourages North Carolinians to help keep insurance premiums low by reporting suspicious fraud.
“Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime,” Commissioner Causey said. “It hits all of us in the pocket through higher premiums.”
