One man's days in the sun could be numbered after he allegedly committed insurance fraud to collect more than $40,000 in undeserved workers' compensation benefits.
On March 26, 2012, authorities arrested Julio Santiago, 53, of Rowland Heights, Calif., charging him with grand theft and multiple felony counts, including making false statements and “presenting false or fraudulent written material to obtain compensation.”
According to investigators, on April 9, 2009, Santiago allegedly suffered an industrial injury while working as a security guard for the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District for which he later filed a workers' compensation claim to Intercare Insurance Services. Apparently Intercare had its own suspicions and conducted a subsequent investigation. As a result of the probe, on May 21, 2009 the company discovered that Santiago was double-dipping: working as a security guard for yet another employer while collecting workers' compensation benefits.
