Former state correctional officer sentenced for felony insurance theft scheme

BALTIMORE, MD—A former state correctional officer has been sentenced in connection with a felony insurance theft scheme.

Attorney General Anthony G. Brown has announced that Racquel Britt Davis, 51, of Baltimore, was sentenced by the Honorable Robert E. Cahill, Jr., of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County for felony theft of $25,000 to $100,000 and ordered to pay $50,251.66 in restitution.

Between May 2018 and June 2021, Raquel Davis submitted 18 fraudulent claims under short-term disability and accident supplemental insurance policies that she had purchased with the American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC) while she was working as a correctional officer with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.

Davis submitted disability claims with fraudulent documentation from doctors that she had either never seen or who had not indicated that she was disabled during the periods indicated in her claims. Davis also submitted fraudulent documentation from her workplace indicating that her disability leave was approved.

On November 21, 2024, Davis pleaded guilty to a single count of felony theft scheme in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. On March 5, 2025, Judge Cahill sentenced Davis to 10 years of incarceration, suspending all but six months.



After her release from custody, Davis will be on supervised probation for five years. She is required to pay $50,251.66 in restitution to AFLAC.
