Gastonia woman charged with insurance fraud


North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the arrest of Diamon Diantria Rollinson, 31, of 3213 Forest Creek Court, Gastonia. Rollinson was charged with three counts of insurance fraud, all felonies, and one misdemeanor count of making a false statement on an insurance application.

Special agents with the Department of Insurance’s Criminal Investigations Division accuse Rollinson of falsely reporting multiple times that two virtual game systems and jewelry were stolen from her car and a residence.

According to the arrest warrants, Rollinson filed claims with Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Co. and State Farm Fire and Casualty Co., providing false information to support the claims.

The offenses occurred between Nov. 12, 2022, and Dec. 25, 2022.

Gaston County deputies arrested Rollinson on March 10. She was given a $5,000 unsecured bond.

“Insurance fraud hits consumers in the wallet,” Commissioner Causey said. “Approximately 20 cents of every insurance premium dollar go to covering the cost of fraud. I’m fighting this by aggressively pursuing and prosecuting insurance fraud in North Carolina.”

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.
