Released: January 10, 2008

A Frierson bail bond agent has been issued a cease and desist order and summary suspension of his license today for filing false public documents.

Donny Sanchez Brokenberry, 32, was served by Department of Insurance Fraud Section Investigators today with an order to cease and desist from engaging in the business of insurance and a summary suspension of his license.

It is alleged that Brokenberry submitted a fraudulent license application to the Department of Insurance in 2007 by not disclosing his prior criminal record. Records indicate that in 1999 Brokenberry plead guilty to a felony charge for the unauthorized use of an access card in Caddo Parish, and plead guilty to a second charge of misdemeanor theft in 2006.

Department records show that Brokenberry held a bail bond license from July 2007 until today’s action. Commissioner Donelon urges consumers who feel uneasy about any insurance related transaction to call the Department of Insurance Fraud Section at 225-342-4956 or 1-800-259-5300. If callers do not want their names used, they can request that their involvement be kept confidential.
