Galveston County authorities have pressed charges against a man after investigating a roofing fraud case, as reported by officials.
A press statement revealed that 41-year-old Michael Kennedy from Dickinson has been accused of committing a felony criminal mischief. After a long wait, the families of Santa Fe shooting victims have finally started their civil trial.
Coast Guard Roofing employee, Kennedy, stands accused of deliberately damaging a roof belonging to a victim to dishonestly assert that the damage was caused by a storm. This action was taken with the intention of filing a deceitful insurance claim.
Officials have concluded that the roof was manually and mechanically manipulated during the investigation. This means that the surface of the roof was intentionally damaged to replicate the effects of natural disasters such as storms.
According to officials, the motive behind the act was to dupe the insurance company into approving the false claim.
