    COBB COUNTY, Ga – A man is currently wanted for making a fraudulent rideshare insurance claim, according to state officials.

    After using Lyft to get to the Northlake Mall, Powell filed a claim with the company, claiming the driver ran over his foot in front of the mall.

    Powell’s statement claims he was reaching for his wallet in the back seat when the driver began to drive away.

    “As a result of this incident, documentation was submitted to Lyft indicating that Mr. Powell received medical treatment for his injuries,” King said. “Our investigators contacted the medical facility listed on the treatment documents and discovered that Mr. Powell had never been a patient there and that the documents were forged.”

    Warrants were issued against Powell in Cobb County for insurance fraud and first-degree forgery.

    Powell is still wanted on Tuesday, officials say.
