Between May 2018 and June 2021, Davis filed 18 fraudulent claims under short-term disability and accident insurance policies she purchased from the American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC) while employed with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. Her claims included falsified medical documents from doctors she never visited or who had not certified her as disabled. Davis also submitted fraudulent workplace documentation falsely indicating her disability leave was approved.
On November 21, 2024, Davis pleaded guilty to a single count of felony theft in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. Judge Robert E. Cahill, Jr. sentenced her on March 5, 2025, to 10 years in prison, suspending all but six months of her sentence. She will be on supervised probation for five years following her release and must pay $50,251.66 in restitution to AFLAC.
