The Mississippi Attorney General's Office says three Meridian men have been indicted for insurance fraud.
Toreno L. Griffin, 35, Kyle Johnson, 29, both residents of Meridian, were recently arrested by investigators with the AG's Insurance Fraud Unit.
Each was charged with one count of insurance fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud.
According to a news release, Griffin and Johnson are accused of defrauding GEICO Insurance by filing false claims for damages received in an automobile collision.
Johnson faces additional charges in a separate but similar indictment with the third defendant, 22-year-old Vanoy Adams. Each is charged with one count of insurance fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud.
The cases will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Larry Baker of the Attorney General’s Insurance Fraud Unit.
