Buford Woman Wanted for Fraud, Forgery

ATLANTA – Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King announced today that warrants were issued for Michelle Leigh Desjardins, 41, of Buford, for one count of Insurance Fraud and one count of Forgery in the 1st Degree. Ms. Desjardins is wanted in connection with a Forsyth County case.

“Ms. Desjardins initiated an Accidental Medical Policy claim for the maximum limit of $10,000,” said Commissioner King. “Upon investigation, it was discovered the medical documents were altered and pages omitted to portray that the incident in question took place on a later date than hospital records show. Fraud drives up insurance rates for all Georgians, and I am committed to bringing criminals like this to justice.”

Anyone with information on this case should call the Criminal Investigations Division’s warrant line at 404-463-6363.

On June 24, the warrants were issued by a Forsyth County Judge.
