Former Police Officer Charged with Stealing Thousands in Workers' Comp, Faking Disability | News Channel 3-12
- Former Westminster police officer Nicole Brown was charged on May 19, 2025, in California for workers' compensation and insurance fraud involving a claimed head injury from March 21, 2022.
- The charges came after a district attorney’s probe was launched when Brown was spotted enjoying herself and consuming alcohol at the Stagecoach Music Festival, despite asserting complete disability from her injury.
- Investigators alleged Brown engaged in skiing, running 5K races, attending Disneyland, and other active behaviors inconsistent with her stated inability to work or perform paperwork.
- Brown faces 15 felony counts, including fraudulent statements and benefit claims, with possible prison up to 22 years, while her attorney stepfather Peter Schuman faces felony charges for aiding the scheme.
- If convicted, Brown will forfeit pension credits backdated to the crimes, and the case highlights serious consequences of workers' compensation fraud among law enforcement officers.
