SAN DIEGO
An insurance agent was sentenced Monday to 357 days of house arrest and ordered to pay $500,000 in restitution for running an insurance scheme that defrauded more than 4,000 Navy sailors in San Diego County, state and local authorities said.
Paul Flanagan, 56, pleaded guilty in August to a felony count of conspiracy to commit a type of insurance fraud known as “twisting.”
Flanagan’s sentencing in San Diego Superior Court was the latest development in the case. Co-defendant Ranjit Kalsi, 54, pleaded guilty to a felony count of identity theft and was sentenced Feb. 10 to 358 days in custody and ordered to pay $500,000 in restitution. A third defendant, Gregory Martin, 51, pleaded guilty Dec. 7 to a misdemeanor count of grand theft. He received credit for 517 days in custody.
