N.J. Man Rides Into Trouble with Fraud Scheme

New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram and Criminal Justice Director Deborah Gramiccioni announced that a Trenton man was sentenced for insurance fraud.

According to Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Greta Gooden Brown, Ramsey Naylor, 31, of Trenton, was ordered by Superior Court Judge Thomas Kelly in Mercer County to serve three years probation and pay a $2,500 civil insurance fraud fine. Naylor pleaded guilty to a charge of insurance fraud contained in a Jan. 4, 2008 Mercer County grand jury indictment.

Carrie Martin, 26, of Trenton, was named in the same indictment. On Nov. 21, Martin pleaded guilty to a disorderly person’s offense of attempted theft by deception and was sentenced to one year of probation. Martin was fined $1,500.

At his Nov. 13 guilty plea hearing, Naylor admitted that between Sept. 21, 2003 and Jan. 23, 2004, he submitted a fraudulent insurance claim to Rider Insurance Company for the theft of a 2003 Yamaha motorcycle. He falsely reported that the motorcycle was stolen after an insurance policy had been purchased for it, when, in fact, the motorcycle was stolen before it was covered by an insurance policy. Martin admitted she provided information she knew was false in support of the claim.

Naylor also submitted a falsified police report concerning the date of the theft.
