Jackson, MS – Attorney General Jim Hood recently announced that a Pelahatchie resident has been arrested following indictment in Rankin County for workers’ comp fraud.
Jacqueline Hill, aka Jacqueline Doty, 32, of Pelahatchie, turned herself in at the Rankin County Detention Center today after having been indicted by the Rankin County Grand Jury on one count of workers’ compensation fraud. Hill is accused in the indictment of making false statements to Union Standard Insurance Company for the purpose of obtaining workers comp benefits by misrepresenting to USIC “that she was not receiving a secondary income while receiving workers’ compensation benefits.”
If convicted, Hill faces a maximum of three years in prison and a $5,000 fine. As with all cases, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The case is being handled by the Attorney General’s Insurance Fraud Unit. It is being prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Larry Baker and investigated by Jerry Spell.
