Former chiropractor, co-defendant sentenced in multi-million insurance fraud scheme
A former Bryan chiropractor and a co-defendant were sentenced Monday to federal prison for their roles in a multimillion-dollar auto insurance fraud scheme.
Chase Lindsey, 36, and Brittany Jessie, 25, both of Bryan, were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt in Houston after admitting their guilt to conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Lindsey received a 24-month term and Jessie was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Each will also have to pay about $1 million in restitution and remain on probation for two years after their release.
Lindsey and Jessie are among five people convicted of conspiring to submit $3 million worth of false billing claims -- which insurance companies paid at least $1.2 million of, according to federal officials.
Marion Young, 43, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of wire fraud in April 2013. Edward Graham, 37, and Earlie Dickerson, 41, were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and 30 counts of mail fraud following an eight-day trial.
