Former NFL player Willie Montae Reagor was arrested January 30 for submitting fraudulent health reimbursement claims after an investigation by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) Fraud Unit.

The TDI investigation found Reagor submitted claims totaling more than $80,000 between October 2017 and August 2018 to the Gene Upshaw NFL Player Health Reimbursement Plan for medical treatments he never received. The health plan helps pay certain medical care expenses for former NFL players.

Reagor was indicted by a Tarrant County grand jury and charged with a third-degree felony. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

The case will be prosecuted by Special Assistant District Attorney Brad Carpenter, one of five prosecutors employed by TDI who work in district attorneys’ offices across the state to fight insurance fraud.

Reagor played nine seasons in the NFL as a defensive tackle for the Broncos, Colts, and Eagles.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A former U of L basketball player is accused of placing fraudulent charges on a credit card that was reported stolen.

According to an arrest report, the incident took place on Nov. 30.

Police say 27-year-old Chane Behanan admitted to using the credit card, which he claimed he found at the Clubhouse Apartments at 2330 Crittenden Drive.

There were $71.74 worth of fraudulent charges on the card, according to police. Behanan was charged with misdemeanor counts of receipt of stolen property and fraudulent use of a credit card in connection with that case.

He was already in custody for failing to appear in court for allegedly missing child support payments. A bench warrant was issued for Behanan’s arrest on Jan. 13 for flagrant non-support, after he was indicted in 2018 for owing $9,700 in missed payments. He did not show up for his court appearance. 

Behanan played for the U of L’s men’s basketball team when the Cards won the 2013 NCAA championship. He was later dismissed from the team in December 2013 for what former coach Rick Pitino said was a violation of team rules.
