Cahill, Jr. for felony theft after submitting 18 fraudulent claims for short-term disability and accident supplemental insurance while employed as a correctional officer, and she has been ordered to pay $50,251.66 in restitution.
Davis received a sentence of 10 years incarceration—with all but six months suspended—followed by five years of supervised probation, and Brown acknowledged the contributions of various law enforcement and prosecutorial officials in the case.
Per the news release distributed on Friday, March 14: “Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced today that Racquel Britt Davis, 51, of Baltimore, Maryland, was sentenced by the Honorable Robert E. Cahill, Jr., of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County for felony theft involving amounts between $25,000 and $100,000, and she was ordered to pay $50,251.66 in restitution.
Between May 2018 and June 2021, Davis submitted 18 fraudulent claims under short-term disability and accident supplemental insurance policies purchased from the American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC) while she was employed as a correctional officer with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. She provided fraudulent documentation from doctors who either had never seen her or did not indicate that she was disabled during the periods claimed, and she also submitted false documentation from her workplace to show that her disability leave was approved.
On November 21, 2024, Davis pleaded guilty to a single count of felony theft scheme in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. On March 5, 2025, Judge Cahill sentenced her to 10 years of incarceration, suspending all but six months. After her release from custody, Davis will be on supervised probation for five years and is required to pay $50,251.66 in restitution to AFLAC.
In making today’s announcement, Attorney General Brown thanked his Criminal Division—specifically Fraud and Corruption Unit Chief Alex Huggins and Assistant Attorney General Michael Palisano—for prosecuting the case. He also acknowledged Maryland Insurance Administration Investigator William Wagner and Forensic Auditor Suzzanne Jones for their investigative assistance, and he thanked State’s Attorney for Baltimore County Scott Shellenberger for his support in the prosecution.”
