An insurance agent in Grundy County, Tennessee, has been indicted on charges of theft and insurance fraud, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced on Saturday.

Between December 2010 and November 2015, Troy Shrum received money from several customers that was intended to pay their insurance policy premiums, investigators said.

“Those payments were never forwarded to the insurance provider, causing their policies to be cancelled due to lack of payment.”
