Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia Announces Arrest in Florida Insurance Fraud Case
Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia has announced the arrest of Jazmine Nicole Rhodes of Broward County on charges of criminal use of personal identification information, grand theft, and insurance fraud. Detectives from the Department of Financial Services' Criminal Investigations Division (CID) allege that Rhodes filed four fraudulent healthcare claims for her son and additional claims for three unrelated children without their parents' knowledge, resulting in her receiving $18,520 in undeserved insurance payments. Furthermore, Rhodes is accused of attempting to claim $11,700 in medical reimbursement for a reported traffic crash by altering a Florida Highway Patrol crash report and her own medical records to falsely claim a broken leg. Rhodes was arrested on October 21 and reportedly confessed during a sworn statement after investigators reviewed witness statements and insurance claims.
