An insurance agent in Salem turned himself into the Washington County Jail on Friday, charged with class C felony insurance fraud.
An investigation began in October when Indiana State Police Detective Scott Stewart received a phone call from an investigator with a national insurance company, according to an ISP news release.
Tyson J. Thompson, 36, of James Street in Salem, was accused of collecting premiums and not forwarding them to his national parent company.
The detective located several customers that Thompson had allegedly collected premiums from without sending those premiums to the parent company, which is company protocol. Tyson had allegedly collected more than $15,000.
He faces two to eight years in prison if convicted.
