Maine woman arrested for allegedly claiming more than $20,000 in fake Boston Marathon injuries
A 49-year-old woman who submitted medical claims for more $20,000 for injuries she never sustained at the Boston Marathon bombings has been arrested in Maine, authorities said.
Amey Malloy was arrested in Portland on Wednesday on charges of larceny and attempted larceny, according to Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakely.
The woman collected $8,000 from One Fund in July 2013, based on a detailed and notarized claim that she had undergone foot surgery in Maine for damage done by the April 2013 bombings. She submitted extensive medical records with her claim, Coakely said.
In July 2014, she sent a second claim, this one saying Malloy had surgery on her hip to correct damages caused by her injured foot. This time, officials at One Fund opened an investigation of Malloy's filings, the attorney general said.
Investigators discovered that both claims were based on fake medical records and that Malloy had not been treated for any of the injuries she claimed to have suffered, Coakley said.
