A man and his mother were arrested Wednesday on charges they used their Lehigh Acres insurance company to commit fraud and grand theft.
Micki Regas, 45, of Cape Coral and Patricia Regas, 72, of Lehigh Acre, own and operate Tradewinds Title Inc. The pair were charged with larceny grand theft and swindling to obtain property. Micki Regas was also charged with insurance fraud.
It’s not the first time the Regas family has faced accusations such as these. In 2001, Micki Regas and his sister, Vicki Wright, were sued for misappropriating funds, but the matter was settled out of court. As a result, Micki Regas surrendered the license of his title insurance business, Fleetwood Title.
You need to include in your report that VICKI WRIGHT was found “NOT GUILTY” and charges were “DISMISSED”. It was not settled out of court.
