A Prichard City Councilman was arrested Tuesday afternoon after a grand jury indicted him last month on two counts of insurance fraud, prosecutors said.
Mobile County Councilman Derek Griffin was indicted by a grand jury in December after prosecutors presented the panel with evidence that he “made fraudulent statements on two different occasions in connection with a policy,” Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood said. insurance”.
The district attorney’s office said the charges stem from an allegation that Griffin misrepresented his insurance documents that he obtained a car he did not own.
“This indictment is part of a larger investigation,” Blackwood said in a statement. “The public interest is always served by the pursuit of justice.”
Griffin’s bond was set at $10,000-$5,000 each.
