A Pennsylvania insurance claims adjuster allegedly used his own job to set up a fake law firm, feed phony medical records into a client's file, and facilitate a single $949,639.54 payment to his company. Glenn Allen Johnson, of Indiana, now faces a slate of felony charges and is awaiting extradition back to Pennsylvania to answer for it.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that Johnson and his company, Elite Injury Representatives, LLC, face multiple felony charges stemming from the alleged scheme, according to pennwatch.org. Investigators determined that Johnson was employed as a claims adjuster by Donegal Insurance when he facilitated a payment of $949,639 from Donegal to his own company, per the same report.
According to prosecutors, Johnson created a business designed to appear as a legitimate law firm representing an injured client, as detailed by Shore News Network. Investigators say Johnson created and opened Elite Injury Representatives while employed at Donegal in 2024 and 2025, and that he allegedly used his position as a claims adjuster assigned to an accident claim to input fraudulent documentation into Donegal's claims file.
Fabricated Records and a Demand Letter
The claim documents allegedly included fabricated medical records and notes describing conversations with the supposed injured party, according to Shore News Network. Investigators believe Johnson also authored a demand letter seeking payment on behalf of the purported client, according to the same report, and allege that he manipulated an insurance claim assigned to him at Donegal and entered the fraudulent documents into the company's claims system.
Based on that documentation, Donegal issued a payment of $949,639.54 to Elite Injury Representatives, according to pennwatch.org. Investigators allege Johnson created the fraudulent information that ultimately prompted the payout, Shore News Network reports.
Grand Jury Review Leads to Felony Charges
The alleged scheme was reviewed by the 55th statewide investigating grand jury, whose findings led to the felony charges now pending against Johnson and his company, according to Shore News Network. Johnson and Elite Injury Representatives, LLC, are charged with corrupt organizations, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities, theft by deception, insurance fraud and forgery, pennwatch.org reports.
Johnson was arrested and taken into custody in Indiana following the investigation, and he is now awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania to face the charges, according to pennwatch.org. The Attorney General's Office has not provided a date for Johnson's initial Pennsylvania court appearance, per Shore News Network. Senior Deputy Attorney General Kristyne Crist, of the Insurance Fraud Section, will prosecute the case, according to the same report.
Attorney General Warns of Costs to Consumers
Sunday credited investigators, grand jurors and Indiana law enforcement partners for their work on the case, and commended them for holding the defendant accountable despite the interstate nature of the investigation, Shore News Network reports. Sunday also said insurance fraud can lead to higher premiums for law-abiding citizens, according to the same report.
Similar cases have surfaced elsewhere in Pennsylvania in recent months. A public adjusting company owner was charged with fraud after allegedly forging signatures and taking money intended for clients, according to NBC10 Philadelphia. Separately, a Bensalem Township public adjuster was charged in an alleged insurance-fraud scheme involving homeowners, as reported by Lower Bucks Times, and another Pennsylvania public adjuster was accused of diverting claim funds meant for homeowners and contractors after storm and flood damage, according to ClaimsPages.
Johnson and Elite Injury Representatives, LLC, are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law, according to Shore News Network. No date has been set for Johnson's first appearance in a Pennsylvania courtroom, and it remains unclear how the extradition process will unfold.
