Insurance Broker Arrested After Defrauding Client

ABILENE, TX –– An Abilene insurance broker is facing legal trouble after stealing thousands of dollars from a client.

According to court documents, authorities had been investigating the Abilene Insurance Agency, owned by Leslie Glenn Oliver.

The victim in the case was a client who paid Oliver a total of $51,534.05 between 2020 and 2021 for insurance policies for multiple businesses.

When the client attempted to get quotes from other insurance companies "he learned that the companies he managed were not insured at the time and his payments were never applied to the policies.”

When investigators interviewed Oliver he admitted to never paying the policies because he was "in a bind."

As a result, Oliver was arrested and charged with third-degree felony theft. Oliver was released after posting a $15,000 bond.
