Hampton man pleads guilty to insurance fraud

Court Alerts

A Hampton (New Hampshire) man has pleaded guilty to orchestrating an insurance scam in an attempt to get money to pay for an injured tooth.

Forty-7-year-old Scott Baldwin pleaded guilty to one count of felony insurance fraud. He was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine and given a suspended jail sentenced.

The attorney general's office says in May 2004 Baldwin made a claim to Wausau Insurance Companies that he had injured a tooth while eating soup purchased from a supermarket. The claim, for $1,927, included a letter and treatment plan from a dental office. The attorney general says in fact, those documents were for an old injury of that tooth and not caused by the soup.
