Former insurance agent facing embezzlement charges, claims intentions were good

LOGAN COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) — A former insurance agent is facing embezzlement charges for mishandling a client's account. Investigators said there are now unaccounted funds. However, the former agent told News 4 he was only trying to help the client keep up with her bills, even if he went about it the wrong way.

"It is a very complicated way to do things," said Rick Wagnon, Director of the Anti-Fraud Unit of the Oklahoma Insurance Department.

The case started in 2018 but only surfaced in 2021.
