Prosecutors unveil text messages in Flores’ insurance fraud trial

Prosecutors in the felony trial of Stockton Unified School District board member AngelAnn Flores focused Wednesday on text messages they say reveal a coordinated plan to delay reporting a car accident until after an insurance policy was activated.

Flores, who has pleaded not guilty, faces three felony charges, including embezzlement and filing a false insurance claim. Prosecutors allege she used a district-issued credit card for personal expenses and filed a claim for a crash that occurred before her insurance coverage took effect. Flores’s defense contends the charges are politically motivated, citing her past cooperation as a whistleblower in a federal investigation into district contracting practices.
