According to the North Carolina Department of Insurance, the department’s criminal investigators allege Behrns provided false information to support an insurance claim that was submitted to Allstate Insurance Company for vehicle damage sustained during Sept. 14 accident. Allstate settled the claim for $952.08, but representatives suspected the vehicle was damaged prior to the accident and Behrn’s claim was inflated to cover the repair of the previous damage.
Allstate turned the case over to investigators.
