LAPD Officers Arrested for Alleged Workers’ Comp Fraud

Two veteran Los Angeles police officers were arrested Wednesday for allegedly lying during testimony and falsifying medical documents to obtain workers’ compensation benefits they were not entitled to, the police chief said. Officer Jonathan Hall, 45, was booked on one felony count each of workers’ compensation fraud, insurance fraud, grand theft and attempted perjury, the department said. He is accused of providing false testimony under oath during a deposition related to an industrial injury claim filed in late 2012, officials said.
