Jeffery, through a representative, maintained his innocence.
Super Bowl-winning Pro Bowl wideout Alshon Jeffery was recently arrested in California and charged with insurance fraud.
According to TMZ Sports, Jeffery was taken into police custody on April 15 and charged with insurance fraud for concealing or failing to disclose an insurance benefit or payment. He is no longer in custody after being booked around 8 a.m. that day. No other details were immediately available.
“Alshon Jeffery categorically denies the allegations that have been reported. The underlying incident was a minor freeway fender bender, and he provided his information at the scene,” his representative, Denise White, the CEO of EAG Sports Management, said in a statement to PennLive. “These are unfounded allegations only, and Alshon has not been convicted of any offense. He will address this matter through the legal process, and he remains confident that the facts will demonstrate this was a misunderstanding and nothing more.”
