Insurance Fruad
LOWELL -- A car accident two years ago has come back to haunt Gary Tumbarello.
In Lowell District Court this week, the 25-year-old Lowell man admitted to sufficient facts on charges that in May 2003, his 2003 Toyota Corolla struck another car in Lowell, injuring two passengers in that car, and that he fled the scene.
An hour after the hit-and-run accident, Tumbarello reported that his car had been stolen. The damaged car was found a short time later by Tumbarello's wife. He filed an auto-theft claim with Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.
Following an investigation by the Lowell Community Insurance Fraud Initiative Task Force, Tumbarello was arraigned in court last December.
Tumbarello is the second person convicted of insurance fraud in cases triggered by the task force, created to investigate insurance-fraud cases.
In June, Elias Costa was given one year of probation, ordered to pay a $2,000 fine and ordered to repay Premier Insurance $420 for submitting a fraudulent claim that his car had been hit while parked near his Lowell home.
In Tumbarello's case, Lowell District Court Judge James McGuinness sentenced him to 18 months in the House of Correction in Billerica, followed by six months probation on charges of insurance fraud and attempted larceny.
Tumbarello was also sentenced on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm without a firearms identification card, possession of a firearm without a license, and possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.
Those charges stem from a separate incident in August, in which Tumbarello was accused of assaulting a neighbor, putting a gun to the neighbor's head and threatening to shoot him.
