Body Shop Owner Defrauds Insurance Companies of Over $1.3 Million

In this edition of Fraud Files we take a look at John Henricks III who used to operate a towing and body shop. He was convicted of insurance fraud for staging accidents and creating false work invoices to the tune of $1.3 million.

Henricks' sentence was changed last month from 120 months to 151 months in federal prison because, according to the judge, he has willfully failed to make any effort to pay restitution to the victims.
