Michael McFadden, a 54-year-old New Milford resident and insurance agent at Insuranze Associates in Hasbrouck Heights, created false documents claiming Long Valley's Christopher Angst had a workman's compensation coverage policy, Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll and Morris County Chief of Detectives Robert McNally said.
Angst, 48, is the owner of C&E Professional Painting in Long Valley, and a police officer with the Montclair University Police Department, Carroll and McNally said.
Angst falsely presented his painting business to a client as being insured, and those documents were unknowingly submitted to an insurance carrier by the client, Carroll and McNally said. In exchange for the phony policy, Angst gifted McFadden a gold Police Benevolent Association card, Carroll and McNally said.
Angst and McFadden were charged with insurance fraud in the third degree, tampering with records, and forgery.
