A woman from southeast Missouri has pleaded guilty to committing insurance fraud in Iowa and the Iowa Insurance Commissioner has ordered her to pay nearly 45-thousand dollars to an Iowa victim. Radio Iowa’s O. Kay Henderson reports.
(As said) – Investigators say Starrla Norman of Dexter, Missouri, convinced retired Postal Service employees who live in Iowa to liquidate securities and buy annuities that yielded commissions for her. She was accused of inflating the retirees’ monthly income and net worth when filling out applications for annuities. The Iowa Insurance Commissioner has ordered her to pay 10-thousand dollars to cover the costs of investigating her activities. In her guilty plea, Norman admitted to submitting an application for life insurance in 2023 that included false information about a client. Court documents indicate Norman is agreeing to pay restitution and is likely to be sentenced to two years probation.
