A police officer in Sullivan County faces felony arson and insurance fraud charges.
Edward Kowalik, 32, a New York City Department of Environmental Protection officer stationed in the Town of Neversink, is accused of paying someone to destroy his truck, then attempting to collect on the insurance money...
Kowalik's 2005 Dodge Ram was burned Oct. 14 on Lt. Brender Highway in Ferndale. He then filed a claim with State Farm Insurance.
Well, well, well, lookee here. He wasn't the "Only One":
Sullivan County sheriff's Cpl. Amanda Cox, 25, was charged with felony insurance fraud. She is accused of paying a friend to wreck her Jeep Grand Cherokee so she could collect on the insurance.
Former Fallsburg police Officer Mike Foster is under investigation for alleged involvement in a similar scam, sources say. He resigned from the force this week.
Probably just a coincidence. Probably.
