DUI Checkpoints & Crime on the Road, Sobriety Checkpoints

Troop B – On December 8, 2009, Louisiana State Police Troopers from the Insurance Fraud/Auto Theft Unit arrested Jolie R. Bonvillian (W/F, age 40) of Violet, LA on hundreds of charges: including three counts of theft in the amount of $2,945,988.11, 85 counts of insurance fraud, 339 counts of bank fraud and 424 counts of forgery.

The investigation originated when troopers from the Insurance Fraud/Auto Theft Unit received a complaint from Progressive Insurance Company concerning an unusually large number of commercial auto policies being generated by Bonvillian. Troopers learned that Bonvillian has been a licensed insurance agent in St. Bernard Parish since 1993.

The investigation revealed Bonvillian had generated 85 fraudulent commercial auto polices utilizing bogus policyholder names, international drivers license information and vehicle information.

The Progressive commercial auto policies were created to facilitate 339 fraudulent premium finance agreements. During the investigation, troopers also learned Bonvillian had misappropriated insurance premium cash payments made to her for existing legitimate insurance policies.

Bonvillian was booked at the St. Bernard Parish Jail on the above listed charges. Also, Bonvillian was served with a Cease and Desist Order by the Louisiana Department of Insurance Officials, requiring her to terminate all activity in the business of insurance.
