There is an Insurance Fraud criminal Statute in TN. But you need to call the Sheriff and explain in detail what is going on to the investigator. This is a public forum, so do not talk about this again except to LEOs.

Well yes you can. And getting that codefendant to testify to your noninvolvement prior to his guilty plea will be difficult if not impossible. Prepare for your Preliminary Hearing. An alibi witness might be helpful here.

You do not want the DA to bind it over to the Grand Jury. DA is worst than some felonies. Hire a competent attorney and prepare for the Preliminary Hearing. Possibly try to divert, dismiss and expunge the charge. This is a very serious charge which will hurt you permanently.

More than likely the SOL s have run. But it may depend on any interaction you have had with the payee, including payments. If charged, it is up to you to plead the bar of SOL.

It is best to move the Court to waive fees at Sentencing. You might still move the Court to waive the costs during the Probation. You better be a perfect probationee.
