A Solano County, Calif., corrections officer was charged with eight counts of workers’ compensation fraud after making a claim that he hurt himself while struggling with a county inmate.

Aaron Janes, 29, of Vacaville, Calif., outside of Sacramento, was charged with eight counts of insurance fraud and held in lieu of $7,500 bond, according to Solano County Sheriff Gary Stanton and District Attorney David Paulson. If convicted, Janes could face up to five years in state prison, and up to $50,000 in fines.

Janes made a claim to the county alleging he injured himself in the struggle with the inmate. Investigators found that his claim was false and uncovered evidence showing Janes was treated for the same injury by his personal doctor two days prior to reporting the workers’ compensation claim to the county, according to prosecutors.
