Authorities say a central New Jersey man lied when he claimed he had been carjacked by an individual who then crashed his car into numerous parked vehicles.
Union County prosecutors announced Wednesday that 29-year-old Darwin Edward of New Brunswick, N.J., has been charged with insurance fraud and false swearing. His bail was set at $ 35,000.
A telephone quantity for Edward could not be situated Wednesday, and it was not recognized if he has retained a lawyer. He could face numerous years in prison if convicted.
The charges stem from an April 2013 accident in Plainfield, N.J.
Prosecutors say Edward claimed a person carjacked his Lexus SC400 sports coupe and drove off in it, striking many automobiles and wrecking his automobile. They say the matter ultimately cost his insurance coverage company about $ 30,000 in claims.
