A Manchester resident was arrested for insurance fraud after filing a false motor vehicle accident insurance claim with Geico Insurance last October, authorities said.
Porche Daniels, 25, was charged with second-degree insurance fraud. The charge carries a possible sentence of five to 10 years in state prison, Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, said in a prepared statement.

Daniels reported that her 2011 Nissan Sentra was damaged after striking a guard rail on the Garden State Parkway in Lakewood. Investigators found that Daniels had filed the same exact claim on May 25, 2012 with Esurance Auto Insurance Co., Della Fave said.
The investigation found that Daniels had made five or more fictitious, fraudulent or misleading statements of material fact to Geico in the claim. She was seeking insurance benefits in excess of $1,000 for repairs she never made, Della Fave said.
Daniels was arrested on Friday afternoon at her workplace in Edison. She was released on $7,500 bail with no 10 percent option by state Superior Court Judge Rochelle Gizinski in Toms River.
