[USA] A Massachusetts man has been arrested on charges that he and his wife were involved in a multi-state glass-eating insurance fraud scheme. Ronald Evano and his wife, Mary, (who is still being sought), filed several fraudulent insurance claims in which they said they had eaten glass found in their food at restaurants, hotels and grocery stores all over the USA, according to the indictment, made public 14 April. The couple used several aliases, several false Social Security numbers & several ID cards. In some cases, prosecutors said, the Evanos had eaten glass, but they did so intentionally to support their claims. The glass did not come from the food they had bought, prosecutors said. The indictment claims that between 1997-2005, the Evanos filed fraudulent insurance claims worth more than $200,000 and left a trail of unpaid medical bills.
