A Remsen woman has been charged with Insurance Fraud.
Following an investigation by the Iowa Insurance Division’s Fraud Bureau, 32-year-old Stephanie Rink has been charged with one count of Insurance Fraud, Presenting False Information, a class D felony.
The charge stems from an investigation that started in March of 2020. According to a criminal complaint, Rink was involved in a motor vehicle collision in June of 2019. Rink was later involved in a second collision in August of 2019. After the August 2019 collision, Rink allegedly provided false information to her insurance company indicating damage from the June 2019 collision had been repaired, when it had not, in order to obtain additional insurance benefits that she would not have been entitled to otherwise.
Rink was arrested last Thursday, February 25th, and booked into the Plymouth County Jail. She was later released after posting a five-thousand dollar bond. A trial will be set for a future date.
