It looks like the Seattle Seahawks may have a new 12th man. A Spokane Valley man has been sentenced to six months in jail for faking job related injuries and obtaining narcotics by using the names of Seahawks players.
34-year-old Jeffory Leonard Mock plead guilty to four felony counts of fraud to obtain controlled substances. He is also been ordered to repay eight area hospitals for the drugs to eat something. The department of labor and industries estimates this cost to be roughly $17,500.
Mock visited medical facilities 17 different times between March 2013 and May 2014 each time he obtained narcotic drugs for making false work injuries to his back or buttocks.
Part of Mocks plans was that he would use different variations of his first name and with always sign the last policy name of a Seattle Seahawks player or coach.
Mock would claim that he was injured while working for a moving company, roofing company or interior design company. When the Department of Labor in industries investigated this they found that for the companies he listed on his form did not even exist.
During the investigation a handwriting expert was consulted and determined that injury reports were indeed a match to hand writing samples of Mock.
Workers compensation is intended to help people who are truly injured in the scope of their employment, is designed to help them be compensated, rehab, and get back to work. What we see in this case here if someone who truly a lot of time an effort to devise a plan to take advantage of the system. If if this much thought was put into getting a real job and making a difference a great career could come of this. Hopefully you can watch the Seahawks games in prison during the season.
