Between May 2018 and June 2021, Davis filed 18 fraudulent claims under short-term disability and accident supplemental insurance policies from the American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC). While employed as a correctional officer with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, she submitted falsified medical records from doctors she had never seen or who had not diagnosed her as disabled. Additionally, she submitted fraudulent documentation from her workplace to support her claims.
On March 5, 2025, Judge Robert E. Cahill, Jr., of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, handed down Davis’s sentence. Her conviction stemmed from an investigation by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, which uncovered the fraudulent scheme. The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Michael Palisano, with support from the Maryland Insurance Administration and Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger.
