Locust Grove woman facing insurance fraud charges

ATLANTA — Arrest warrants on insurance fraud charges have been issued for a Locust Grove resident, Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King said Wednesday.

Siedah Scott, 33, is charged with insurance fraud and forgery.

According to information from King's office, Scott reportedly received a $1,200 settlement from Farmers Insurance in connection to a September 21 accident. In November that same year, King said she submitted a $1,535 medical invoice to Farmers for chiropractic treatment related to the accident.

"Our special agents interviewed the chiropractic office where Ms. Scott claimed she received treatment, and they denied providing Ms. Scott any services at their facility," King said.

"Upon review of the medical invoice, the office advised it was created without their permission. Illicit activities like this raise insurance costs for all Georgians, and I am proud of our special agents for closing this case."
