Glincher allegedly sent letters to victims of traffic accidents and encouraged them to file claims through his company, Auto Loss Claims Consultants, LLC (ALCC). Regardless of whether the victim completed the claim form or discarded it, claims were still filed and funds were paid to ALCC by various insurance companies without the knowledge of the victims, according to the charges.

Prosecutors said that the the magnitude of the alleged crime allowed Glincher to be charged with aggravated white collar crime – a seldom used first degree felony. According to prosecutors, their review of bank records, along with victim interviews, determined the total theft to be nearly $300,000.

If convicted, Glincher faces up to 30 years in prison.
