Lynnwood man who said thieves had escaped on several occasions with his collection of more than 200 silk ties has paid more than $ 33.000 and pleaded guilty to two counts of making a false insurance claim.
Under a diversion agreement, the charges dropped from his record if he complies with the agreement.
Wopperer Carlton H., 50, was charged with two counts of insurance fraud in Snohomish County Superior Court in July. Last week, he paid a return of $ 33,370.67 and signed the diversion agreement.
Three times in nine years, said Wopperer thieves had stolen his collection of 212 silk ties in his vehicle. But the study about the Office of the State Insurance Commissioner found that Wopperer had returned to many of these links in a few minutes to buy them.
On January 5, 2009, Wopperer said Mill Creek Police Department that his vehicle was broken while parked in a greeting card store. He said four plastic containers containing 212, silk ties had been stolen. He said he had ties to a quilt shop to see to have sewn a quilt for display.

But an expert PEMCO, check with retailers, he learned that the majority of links acquired in January was returned almost immediately. PEMCO Wopperer denied the request and reported the matter to the Special Unit for Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler research. State investigators interviewed store employees, documented paper trail and referred the matter to the Prosecutor's Office Snohomish County.
