Webb is reportedly accused of being the ringleader of the insurance scam in which the group crashed owned and rented cars into poles or curbs on purpose. He also has another $70,000 in pending claims, according to the report, before the insurance companies alerted the Department of Insurance.
According to the report, Webb and the reported members of this scam all requested medical assistance after the minor accidents, including transportation to hospitals.
Webb has been charged with four counts of causing an accident for the purpose of presenting a false claim, two counts of preparing writing with the intent of supporting a false claim and one count of filing a false claim with an insurer.
Webb played for the Chiefs from 2006-08, and played just one season in the United Football League with the Omaha Nighthawks.
