(Des Moines, Iowa) – Officials with the Iowa Insurance Division’s Fraud Bureau said Tuesday, 32-year-old Patrick Dilworth was sentenced to suspended term five-years in prison, Monday (August 7, 2023), after pleading guilty to two Felony counts of Fraudulent Insurance Submissions, and one count of Theft in the 3rd degree (an Aggravated Misdemeanor). The charges were the result of an investigation by the  Bureau in September 2022, when the Bureau received information implicating Dilworth, in a series of fraudulent insurance claims across multiple companies. The investigation determined Dilworth falsified injury reports and accompanying documentation to gain monetary benefits to which he was not entitled.

Patrick Dilworth was taken into custody by the Johnson County Sheriff’s office on July 15, 2023. Dilworth’s 5-year suspended sentence will be served concurrently with 3-years of supervised probation and a suspended fine of $1,025, for two of the counts. Additionally, Dilworth received a 2-year suspended sentence, to run concurrently with a suspended fine of $855, for the remaining count. Dilworth was also ordered to pay restitution.
