RALEIGH — A Red Springs woman has been charged with committing insurance fraud after a fire at her home, according to the state Department of Insurance.

Earline Francine Johnson, 38, of College Street, is charged with committing insurance fraud and obtaining property by false pretense, according to a statement from the Department of Insurance.

Johnson was arrested Thursday in Robeson County and jailed under a $2,500 bond.

According to the statement, criminal investigators are accusing Johnson of fraudulently obtaining $800 from United Casualty Insurance Company of America and attempting to obtain additional payments. Johnson provided false information on content inventory sheets submitted as part of a claim after a fire at her home on April 28, 2014, the statement said.
