Former California patrol officer convicted of fraud

A former California Highway Patrol officer, Michael P. Jones, was convicted of fraud on abuse of the workplace injury system.

While being an officer in Coalinga, Calif., Jones made three bogus workers' compensation claims from 2002 to 2004. The judge dismissed all but the 2004 charges, in which Jones claimed injuries to his lower back.

A key piece of evidence was a videotape of a terrorist readiness drill in which Jones was seen running and engaging in other activities while playing the role of a terrorist storming Fresno.

Jones will be sentenced Jan. 27, and faces anything from probation to eight years in prison. But Jones and his family believe that he is innocent of these charges.
