SFPD officer allegedly involved in insurance fraud, grand theft and identity theft felonies
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin charged a police officer with five felonies on Tuesday, the Davis Vanguard reports.
All charges relate to a 2018 Ford Mustang, which was purchased by Adam Eatia and another SFPD officer in the spring of 2018. The other officer helped Eatia purchase the vehicle and insured it in his name through Mercury Insurance. Eatia was not disclosed as a driver anywhere on the application, but he allegedly committed insurance fraud after an accident in July 2018 when he didn't disclose he was the primary driver.
Eatia is facing one count of grand theft by false pretenses, two counts of insurance fraud, one count of forgery and one count of identity theft. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 25.
“Officers who break the law, whether in their official or personal capacities, must be held accountable,” Boudin said, per Davis Vanguard.
