The suspect knowingly submitted a false claim for insurance payment to Progressive Insurance Company around Sept. 15, 2023.

Those documents were confirmed by Roper Radiologists, the medical provider, to not reflect their billed amounts.
Reid-Boyd attempted to collect $43,473,17 in total, according to the affiant.
He was booked into the Berkeley County Detention Center.
The case will be prosecuted by the South Carolina Department of Insurance.
