Bonnewell Pleads Guilty in Oklahoma Insurance Fraud Case
11/09/2007 -- The former claims manager for an Oklahoma insurance company pleaded guilty today to five felony counts of grand larceny by fraud, Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson said.
Rhonda K. Bonnewell, 37, was charged July 19 in Oklahoma County District Court after she allegedly wrote more than $12,000 in checks for insurance claims and then used those checks to pay personal debts. Bonnewell is the former claims manager for the Oklahoma Restaurant Group Self Insurance Association.
“Rhonda Bonnewell was ordered today to pay $12,901.92 in restitution and serve a five-year deferred sentence,” Edmondson said. “She will also pay court costs and a victims’ compensation assessment.”
Bonnewell was charged after an investigation by Edmondson’s Workers’ Compensation and Insurance Fraud Unit, which has statewide jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute workers’ compensation and insurance fraud. Anyone with information regarding workers’ compensation fraud can call the attorney general’s Workers’ Compensation and Insurance Fraud hotline toll-free at (877) 800-8764.
