A former UFC fighter is wanted in Washington for insurance fraud, among other charges.
Bryan Caraway, originally from Richland, has landed on Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler’s insurance fraud most wanted list after he failed to appear for a pre-trial hearing in Benton County Superior Court.
Caraway faces several felony charges and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Caraway, a professional fighter, was charged with forgery, first-degree attempted theft, filing a false insurance claim and making a false statement on a vehicle application certificate of title by Benton County Prosecutor’s Office after an investigation by Kreidler’s Criminal Investigations Unit.
Investigators say Caraway reported the theft of a 2015 Polaris RZR all-terrain vehicle from his property in Richland in December 2018. He reportedly purchased a policy for the vehicle from GEICO on December 21 of that year, filed the claim six days later and told GEICO he bought the vehicle and contents, including helmets, a battery charger and spare tire, for $18,500 and provided a title showing his ex-girlfriend gifted it to him in January 2018.
The investigation reportedly showed evidence that Caraway forged the title, and that the vehicle was not stolen but was owned by and in possession of his ex-girlfriend. Caraway withdrew the claim, and GEICO referred the case to Kreidler’s CIU.
