Owners of Shameless Trucking charged with workers’-compensation fraud

Amy Stoutenger, 48, and Ralph A. Stoutenger, III, 49, of Fulton were charged with second-degree insurance fraud, offering to file a false instrument, both felonies, as well as separate charges of insurance fraud and offering false statement under state workers’-compensation law, also felonies.

State police said in a release that the arrests sprang from a New York State Insurance Fund investigation into Shameless Trucking and Shameless Towing and Recovery from 2014 to 2017. 
“Ralph and Amy Stoutenger, owners of the company, are accused of not paying about $319,013 in Worker Compensation Insurance,” police said.

The police said audits, banking records, and employees who were paid in cash and by check provided proof for the case.
