Ash Trevino was arrested late last night at approximately 10:00 p.m. and is now facing two felony charges, according to inmate records.
Court documents indicate that Trevino has been charged with health care fraud involving an alleged amount between $2,500 and $30,000. The charge typically involves intentionally deceiving a health care program for financial gain, such as submitting false claims, billing for services not rendered, or improper coding. Under the applicable penal code, the offense carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison, along with substantial fines, depending on the final amount proven.
In addition to the health care fraud charge, Trevino is also accused of fraudulent securing of document execution, a felony offense that involves using deception to obtain a signature or file a document tied to a financial value within the same $2,500 to $30,000 range. This charge is classified as a state jail felony, which carries a possible punishment of up to two years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
At this time, no additional details regarding the investigation or court proceedings have been released. As with all criminal cases, the charges remain allegations, and Trevino is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
