U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin announced Monday that two more individuals pleaded guilty to federal mail and wire fraud charges.
Mark Ingram, 42, and Crystal Ingram, 32 both of Nitro admitted to submitting fraudulent claims for power surge damage to American Electric Power Service Corporation, Inc.
The two admitted that they conspired with former AEP property damage claims adjuster Deborah Farmer to get money from AEP by submitting fraudulent claims for power surge damage. Farmer, 47, formerly of Winfield, pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Seven other co-defendants have also pleaded guilty to their role in the scheme.
A total of 57 fraudulent claims were filed resulting in a loss to AEP of approximately $598,485.
The Ingrams each face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when they are sentenced on September 18.
