Raytheon Slater Insured His $8,000 Rims And Claimed They Were Stolen, Gets Insurance Check And Tries To Sell The Rims On The Line | August 9

Gainesville: Florida man Raytheon Slater was arrested Wednesday after police say he falsely claimed to an insurance company that his tire rims were stolen, only for investigators to find them later on Craigslist.

Slater told Gainesville Police Department officers that someone had entered his home and taken his Forgiato C2C-2 tire rims, valued at over $8,000. He said he had the rims insured a couple months prior, and made a claim with the company after reporting the burglary.

According to the arrest report, officers discovered a Craigslist ad for an identical set of 4 tire rims in Gainesville, created in June. Photos of the rims showed them attached to Slater’s Mercedes SUV, parked in front of his residence. The seller’s phone number was also Slater’s.

Slater told law enforcement he had used the insurance money to buy a new set of similar rims from BWW Customs. Employees from the tire shop denied this.

He later admitted to officers that he has the original set of tire rims he reported stolen, and that he posted the ad on Craigslist in order to sell the wheels.

Raytheon Slater was arrested for making false and fraudulent insurance claims, and filing a false report to law enforcement.
