The offenses occurred on Dec. 28, 2023.
Dail turned himself in to Alamance County deputies on Dec. 5. He was released under $25,000 unsecured bond and had a first appearance in Alamance County District Court on Dec. 6.

Commissioner Causey encourages North Carolinians to help keep insurance premiums low by reporting suspicious fraud.
