Former Major League Baseball player Ted Lilly was charged in California with three felonies related to insurance fraud, according to a newspaper report.
The charges stem from allegedly false insurance claims filed last year in connection to Lilly’s damaged recreational vehicle, said the San Luis Obispo Tribune. Charges state that Lilly damaged his $210,000 vehicle on March 19th. He then later purchased insurance on March 24th and claimed the damages were made on March 28.
Lilly made over 80 Million dollars during his 15 year career, retired due to back and shoulder problems, and could face a maximum penalty of 5 years in jail.
