A Jackson man has been arrested for false pretense involving an insurance fraud case.
Attorney General Jim Hood, in a news release Tuesday, said 39-year-old Ernest Martell Day was arrested by the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office for one count of false pretense following indictment by a Rankin County grand jury.
The indictment alleges that Day did attempt to appropriate insurance proceeds to which he was not entitled after filing a fraudulent insurance claim with Progressive Insurance Company claiming that his 2006 Land Rover had been stolen when in fact it had not.
