Court documents filed in Polk County last October show the prosecutor in an insurance fraud case against Tryon resident Judy Ann Mills has dismissed the charges.
Mills was arrested on one count of insurance fraud in March 2012.
At the time, investigators alleged that Mills filed a claim with GEICO Insurance stating that her 2008 Acura TL was damaged when an unidentified vehicle ran her off the road. GEICO paid more than $6,000 to repair the vehicle. Witnesses later reported to investigators that Mills actually struck a fence on private property while driving impaired.
Mills said the case was thrown out because the witness, her ex-husband, was found to have falsely accused her of lying about the accident.
