The president of a Rancho Cucamonga company was sentenced last month to probation and fines for Worker's Compensation fraud.
Anthony Perry, president of Perry Roofing was ordered on Sept. 30 to pay $15,000 to the California Department of Insurance, and $670 in restitution to the State Compensation Insurance Fund.
The San Bernardino County District Attorney's office started an investigation in August of last year after getting information that Perry was under reporting payroll and employees.
Investigators then served a search warrant at the business in February of 2010, according to a District Attorney's news release.
An investigation determined that Perry was paying an employee cash and misrepresenting the number of employees to his insurance company in order to get a lower premium, according to the release.
