North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced that Laquain James Robinson, 33, of 2117 Joe Louis Ave., Greensboro, has been charged with insurance fraud and attempting to obtain property by false pretense, both felonies.
According to a criminal summons, Robinson falsely told State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. that a loss of power at his insured property caused $600 in food spoilage.
The offense occurred on July 13, 2024.
Greensboro police served a criminal summons on Robinson on March 31. He is scheduled to appear in Guilford County District Court on April 24.
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.”
