A California life insurance agent will face a preliminary hearing Friday as he contends with grand-theft and identity theft charges. This month, Kerry Urban Hunter, an agent in Inglewood, Calif., was charged with a felony count of identity theft and a felony count of grand theft, following an investigation by the California Department of Insurance. The state's Insurance Department discovered that last year, Mr. Hunter allegedly received $5,177 in advance commissions from Aflac Inc. after turning in 18 fake insurance applications for supplemental medical policies on the behalf of nine people. It was discovered that Hunter used his bank checking account information on the applications and that the applications contained incorrect dates of birth, social security numbers and addresses. Administrative action against Hunter's insurance license is pending with the CDI. Mr. Hunter has pleaded not guilty, and his hearing is scheduled for Nov. 6.
