Former NFL wide receiver Jeff Webb was arrested June 28 in California on multiple felony counts of insurance fraud after allegedly staging a series of car crashes in 2012 and 2013
Webb and eight others (all former college teammates) allegedly staged four car collisions with privately owned and rental vehicles, resulting in $70,000 in fraudulent claims and a total potential loss to insurers of $139,000. The California Department of Insurance alleged Webb was the ringleader of the group and received the bulk of the money paid by insurance companies.
