North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the arrest of Tyler Dionysius Englin, 26, of 63 Callahan Trail, Garner. Englin was charged with embezzlement, a felony.
Special agents with the Department of Insurance’s Criminal Investigations Division accuse Englin, owner of the public adjuster company TDE Claims LLC, of embezzling $133,097.26 from a Catawba County client.
According to the arrest warrant, Englin was entrusted to receive the claim for his client but Englin kept the money and did not transfer the money to him.
Englin was arrested in Johnston County on Oct. 30 and given a $150,000 secured bond. He is scheduled to appear in Catawba County District Court on Oct. 31.
The arrest is the result of an ongoing investigation regarding complaints the Department of Insurance has received about Englin and TDE Claims.
Commissioner Causey thanked investigators for their hard work and for the complaints filed by victims.
“I urge people to report suspicious activity like this so our special agents can pursue cases against those who commit fraud and other white-collar crimes,” Commissioner Causey said.
