Caddo insurance producer arrested and
issued C&D, Commissioner Wooley announces
Released: May 3, 2005 A Caddo Parish insurance producer was arrested and issued a cease and desist order today for allegedly misappropriating insurance funds, Commissioner of Insurance Robert Wooley has announced. Department of Insurance Fraud Unit investigators served Tammie Barron Thompson (38) with a cease and desist order at the time she surrendered to the State Police Insurance Fraud Unit in Shreveport. Thompson was arrested on 2 counts of forgery for allegedly issuing fake automobile insurance ID cards for herself and members of her family. The c&d also states that she worked for insurance agencies in Metairie and Haughton while unlicensed. Department of Insurance records show that Thompson held a property & casualty insurance license from September 1989 until April 2003. However, she continued to work unlicensed for an agency from September until November 2003 when she was terminated for alleged misappropriation of premiums and deposits. Her license was reinstated in November 2004 and remained active until May 2005. Her last known address is listed as 2680 Highway 528, Princeton, LA. Wooley urges consumers who feel uneasy about any insurance-related transaction to call the Department of Insurance Fraud Unit at 225-342-4956. If callers don’t want their names used, they can request that their involvement be kept confidential.
