Mecklenburg County woman faces insurance fraud, attempt to obtain property by false pretense charges

RALEIGH Jun 10, 2026 North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the arrest of Jacqueline Elaine Hill, 52, of 12915 Deaton Hill Drive, Charlotte. Hill was charged with one count of insurance fraud and one count of attempting to obtain property by false pretense, both felonies. Special agents with the Department of Insurance’s Criminal Investigations Division accuse Hill of submitting fictitious or altered documents, along with misleading statements, to State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. in support of a homeowners insurance claim filed Dec. 5, 2025, in an attempt to obtain claim proceeds. Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office arrested Hill on June 9. She was released on a $7,500 unsecured bond. Commissioner Causey encourages North Carolinians to help keep insurance premiums low by reporting suspicious fraud. “Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime,” Commissioner Causey said. “It hits all of us in the pocket through higher premiums.” If you suspect insurance fraud or other white-collar crimes, please report it. You may anonymously report fraud by calling the N.C. Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840 or toll free from anywhere in North Carolina at 888-680-7684.
