A Duncanville man helped defraud insurance companies of $3.5 million in a staged accident scheme, federal authorities say.
Leroy Nelson, 61, was arrested and indicted Monday on six counts of mail fraud and six counts of engaging in illegal monetary transactions, U.S. Attorney Sarah Salda?a?s?office announced.
The indictment alleges that Nelson filed claims for damaged equipment with descriptions such as ?remote aircraft landing marker,? a ?chemical pipeline examiner? and a ?seismographic probe.? Nelson also sent the same picture to different insurance companies, but described the damaged equipment differently each time, authorities said.
Nelson?s claim estimates usually ranged from $16,000 to $19,000, according to the indictment. Authorities said he directed the insurance checks to two of his warehouses in Duncanville on Explorer Street, or to private addresses in other states ? which were set up to forward mail to his warehouse.
If convicted, Nelson faces up to 20 years in prison on each mail fraud count, and a maximum of 10 years for each count of engaging in an illegal monetary transaction.
