CATONSVILLE MAN CHARGED WITH INSURANCE FRAUD

Attorney General J. Joseph Curran, Jr., announced today the filing of insurance fraud charges against Keith Lowe, 29, of Catonsville, Maryland. In a one count criminal information filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Lowe was charged with making a false insurance claim having a value in excess of $300 in June 2001.

If convicted of insurance fraud, Lowe could be sentenced to serve 15 years in prison and fined $10,000. The information follows an investigation conducted by the Insurance Fraud Division of the Maryland Insurance Administration and the Office of the Attorney General. A criminal information is merely an accusation of wrongdoing, and every individual is presumed innocent until the charges are proven by the State.

No trial date has been set.
