Haskell County insurance producer fined, license revoked following investigation

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Insurance Department announced it has fined and revoked the license of Leslie Clark, a resident insurance producer from Stigler, following an investigation led by its Anti-Fraud Unit.

On Feb. 11, a show-cause hearing was held at OID's offices before an independent examiner, at which Clark failed to appear. Clark was found to have improperly withheld and misappropriated 18 cash receipts totaling $7,269.38 from consumer premium payments. OID revoked Clark's license and issued her a $2,000 fine.

This case began when Farmers Insurance Group filed a complaint on Dec. 5, 2024. The complaint stated Clark failed to forward premium payments to the company.

Farmers' internal investigation revealed that between Aug. 23, 2023, and June 12, 2024, Clark had entered 18 cash receipts into its internal payment system to credit insureds' policies. Clark failed to forward the funds to Farmers.

Farmers' investigation also found that Clark's personal homeowners policy was canceled for non-payment on June 23, 2024. Clark entered a check receipt for $6,885.00 into the insurer's internal payment system on July 31, 2024, to reinstate her homeowners policy but failed to make a deposit into Farmers' bank account to cover the check amount.

Farmers recovered the amount due, and no consumer policies were affected.
