Delano Manning Jr. of Burbank was arrested and charged with one felony count of making false statements for a workers’ comp claim and one felony count of grand theft.
The CDI Fraud Division received a tip from a Tennessee resident about the 36-year-old man’s fraudulent claim. The tipster told investigators that Manning was working in Tennessee while claiming to be disabled from a California workers’ comp injury and boasted how he was “beating the system.— Manning had reportedly traveled from Tennessee to California to attend medical appointments and to support his continued disability.
Investigators discovered that Manning actually had a workers’ comp claim for injuries sustained in a traffic collision in April 1999 in Ontario, Calif., while working for a trucking company, and that he was placed on Total Temporary Disability and received benefits until October 1999. After missing a medical exam to confirm his condition, the benefits lapsed from Oct. 14, 1999, to Nov. 9, 1999. The benefits were reinstated after a Nov. 10, 1999, exam at which he claimed to not have worked since the original injury.
Investigators learned that Manning was employed at Architectural Paneling Inc. in Tennessee as a roof-panel installer and denied this employment to his doctor in Burbank, as well as to a third-party claims administrator.
