A former police officer, Brett Leroy Cox, 37, was sentenced to three years probation and 120 hours of community service for one misdemeanor count of insurance fraud, to which Cox pled no contest in Fresno County Superior Court.
In exchange for paying full restitution totaling over $18,000 to carriers, additional insurance fraud charges filed by the Madera D.A.’s Office were dismissed, and the charge was allowed to be entered as a misdemeanor.
According to CDI investigators, Cox submitted 11 insurance claims, and all but one were fraudulent or displayed fraudulent aspects. Cox allegedly made several misrepresentations on his homeowners policies, listed identical items in separate claims and made inconsistent statements regarding claims submitted for his burglarized vehicle.
Cox was originally arrested on two counts of insurance fraud and booked into Fresno County Jail. At the time of his arrest, Cox cooperated with investigators, confessing to the two counts he was charged with and expressing his desire to make full restitution.
