The Tennessee Highway Patrol, Criminal Investigation Division (CID) arrested a Chattanooga business man Thursday and charged him with Harley Davidson motorcycle Insurance Fraud after he requested his employee steal his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Clay Ledkins, 46, of Chattanooga, is charged with a Class D Felony,Harley Davidson motorcycle Insurance Fraud.
Ledkins filed a fraudulent stolen Harley Davidson motorcycle report with South Pittsburg Police Department on his 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle. Ledkins stated to the South Pittsburg Police Department that the Harley Davidson motorcycle was taken from the Danger Zone Bar, located at 1475 Old Jasper Rd in South Pittsburg. Ledkins then filed a fraudulent Harley Davidson motorcycle insurance claim with Tennessee Insurance Company.
The investigation determined that Ledkins told his employee to steal his 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle, so Ledkins could then collect the Harley Davidson motorcycle insurance money from Mutual Insurance, where the Harley Davidson motorcycle was insured.
Apparently, Ledkins communicated to his employee about his financial problems just before the alleged theft took place. The entire conversation was overheard by a patron of the establishment and the patron also observed Ledkins give the employee a set of keys.
THP CID Special Agent Matthew Minter and the Marion County Sheriff Department investigators located the stolen Harley Davidson motorcycle. The Harley Davidson motorcycle was in an out building on Woodall Point Road in Marion County. The Harley Davidson motorcycle had been dismantled when it was located by Special Agent Minter.
“Dismantlement is a great indicator that the person is planning to sell the motorcycle part by part, hoping to elude the identity of the motorcycle” stated SA Minter. “The investigation was able to easily identify the parts of the dismantled Harley Davidson motorcycle and verify that it was the stolen Harley Davidson motorcycle belonging to Mr. Ledkins.”
Also charged in the case are Tim Champion, 26, Gino Martin, 43 and Nick Talley, 22, all of South Pittsburg, Tennessee.
