More details have emerged regarding the felony charges being faced by Reggae Boyz striker Darren Mattocks.

Mattocks, who is signed to MLS team FC Cincinnati, has been charged with one count of making a false, fraudulent or incomplete insurance claim, and another count of theft by deception in Carroll Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause, the charges originally stem from a single car accident that mattocks was involved in on January 20, 2019, at around 9:28 a.m, where Mattocks and a passenger were traveling from New York City to Cincinnati on state route 70, when he lost control of his vehicle – a 2018 BMW X6 – after it encountered an ice patch on the road. The car went over an embankment and flipped over.

Mattocks and the passenger were taken by ambulance to hospital. The 29 year old did not require treatment and was not admitted, while the passenger received treatment and was released.

The affidavit goes on to explain that at the time of the accident, the car’s insurance had lapsed, but Mattocks then took out a new policy at 11:42 a.m. that day.

Mattocks then filed a claim on the insurance three days later, however since the accident involved a rollover, the car was deemed a total loss for $48,234.48.

When contacted by the insurance company, Mattocks said that he had acquired the insurance policy at 5 a.m. on the morning of the accident, and that the accident took place around noon.

The affidavit says that once the insurance company began investigating further, the inconsistencies in Mattocks’ story became apparent.

An arrest warrant was issued on December 5, 2019 and bail was set at $50,000. A formal arraignment is scheduled for February 27.
