Why Alshon Jeffery, retired Super Bowl winner, faces felony insurance fraud charges

Alshon Jeffery, a retired NFL wide receiver who won a Super Bowl ring with the Philadelphia Eagles, is facing two felony charges of insurance fraud stemming from a car crash in San Diego County, California, according to court records with the Superior Court of California San Diego.

Jeffery, 36, missed an arraignment scheduled for March 9 and an arrest warrant was issued March 18. He was arrested April 15, according to TMZ and other media outlets.

He is scheduled to be arraigned April 23, according to a public affairs representative with the Superior Court of California San Diego.

“The underlying incident was a minor freeway fender bender, and he provided his information at the scene,” Jeffrey’s representative, Denise White, said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. “These are unfounded allegations only, and Alshon has not been convicted of any offense. He will address this matter through the legal process, and he remains confident that the facts will demonstrate this was a misunderstanding and nothing more.”
