BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- A Kern County man was found guilty of 15 fraud-related counts involving two schemes: one for filing false insurance claims, the other for filing false documents in small claims cases. Jacob McNabb, 33, was convicted Tuesday and faces more than 17 years in prison at his sentencing next month, prosecutors said. "McNabb exploited multiple victims and attempted to deceive the court in a calculated scheme of fraud," District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer said in a release. "Today, his days of manipulation are over as justice prevails in the end." McNabb devised two schemes. The first was implemented in December 2016, when McNabb intentionally got in collisions on four occasions then filed insurance claims. In each incident, McNabb received money for repairs but kept it instead of fixing his car -- then when he got into another collision he claimed the preexisting damage was new, prosecutors said.

In nine small claims cases, McNabb intentionally didn't notify the people he was suing but claimed in court filings that they were properly served, prosecutors said. "As a result, he would be able to argue his case in court without letting the other victims give their side of the story," prosecutors said. He won judgments and tried enforcing them -- defrauding 15 people and one business. Charged in 2019, McNabb is being held without bail.
