An Atlanta woman is wanted for attempting to deceive a travel insurance company by altering her son's medical records after he tested negative for COVID-19, authorities allege.

Takeidra Davis, 37, purchased travel insurance for a planned vacation in January 2022, the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire said. 

"In the policy, it clearly states that a dependent must be sick at the time of the trip in order to receive a refund," Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King said in a statement. "When Ms. Davis’ son recovered and tested negative for COVID-19 the day before their vacation, the suspect altered her son’s medical record to indicate a positive test result during the policy period."
