DETROIT COP CHARGED WITH 4 FELONIES FOR AUTO FRAUD RING

A Detroit Police officer was charged today with four felony counts in connection with an auto fraud ring that the Michigan Attorney General’s Office and Michigan State Police busted in March 2007.

Kevin Schuh, 35, of Brown City was charged today in 36th District Court with one count each of misconduct in office, a five-year felony; forging a public document, a 14-year felony; uttering and publishing a forged document, a 14-year felony; and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, a 10-year felony.

Schuh’s name was found on several fraudulent accident reports connected to Somerset Auto.
Attorney General Mike Cox said then that the suspects enhanced collision damage, sometimes with willing participants, to defraud various auto insurance companies. The suspects also damaged cars or stole air bags to report claims without a car owner’s knowledge.
