BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

OFF BEAT: Woman high-heels her way into fraud allegations

Reprints

A Northern California woman seen trading her crutches for high-heeled shoes before running into a public park for a sexual romp has pleaded not guilty to workers compensation insurance fraud.

The 28-year-old woman worked as a custodian for Sequoia Union High School District when she claimed to have injured an ankle, rendering her incapable of working or even walking without pain, according to news reports.

She made several visits to a doctor while using crutches.

But a video recording showed her walking into the doctor’s office with the crutches, then leaving without them.

She also was seen leaving the office, throwing the crutches into the back seat of her car, then driving to a gas station where she changed into the high heels.

Next she ran into a park to meet a male acquaintance and engaged in behavior that a doctor concluded would not be possible with an injured ankle.
