INSURANCE FRAUD
BC man charged
in 6 year old crime
RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin
today announced the arrest of John Fitzgerald Haynes, 43, 434.
W. Indiana Ave., Bessemer City. According to the arrest warrant,
Haynes filed a claim with N.C. Farm Bureau Insurance in Au-
gust 2003 for his 1967 Chevrolet truck. Haynes claimed that the
truck was stolen and received $4,500 from Farm Bureau. In
April, after an outside tip, officials at N.C. Farm Bureau Insur-
ance notified the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles and the
N.C. Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division
that the pick-up truck might actually be at an address in Shelby.
_ Investigators located the vehicle and discovered that the original
VIN number had been removed. According to investigators,
Haynes was still driving the truck with a different VIN number.
Haynes has been charged with one count of insurance fraud
and one count of altering serial numbers. He was arrested and
placed in the Cleveland County jail under a $10,000 bond. In-
vestigators say other charges may follow.
The Department of Insurance employs 20 sworn law en-
forcement officers dedicated to investigating claims of insurance
fraud. In 2008, these criminal investigators saw more than 453
cases successfully closed with more than $5.8 million in restitu-
tion and recoveries, 60 criminal convictions and 130 arrests.
An estimated 10 cents of every dollar paid in premiums goes
toward the payment of fraudulent claims. To report suspected
fraud, contact the Department of Insurance Criminal Investiga-
tions Division at 919-807-6840. Callers may remain anonymous.

residential markets, but also agricultural.
The company has offices in Iron Sta-
tion, Concord, Belmont, Spartanburg, SC,
Live Oak, Fla., and Lake Panasoftkee,
Fla.
The company also makes an effort to
give back to its home community. This
year, as in years past, they have provided
the sand at BeachBlast. Kerns said that
they also sponsor the character develop-
ment materials in local schools.
"We always want to be involved with
our community. This is where our children
have been raised and myself," he said.
Kerns' father, Johnny, built interstate
highways in the 50s and 60s.
"So I grew up traveling," Kerns said.
"We moved all over the southeast follow-
ing the interstate system around and then
we came back to Kings Mountain in
1967."
Johnny took over the family business
in the 70s. He retired close to 15 years
ago, leaving the reigns to Kerns and his
brother Butch, who retired in 2007.
"Now it's just myself and all of these
good people that help me - mostly the
good people that help me," he said.
"There have been a lot of changes, a lot
of challenges over the years. There's still
changes and challenges going on. But
~ we've been very fortunate to continue to
keep the business going forward through
the generations. It's never easy to make a
transition from generation to generation."
He said that his business manager and
vice president of the company, Doug
Prestwood, has helped a lot with the tran-
sition.
"He's been extremely instrumental in
our diversification and analysis of the
company as we've grown," he said.
' "I'm honored to be with the company,"
Prestwood said.
Founder of Kerns Trucking, Clyde
Kerns, Sr., was also a founding partner of
City Auto & Truck - another staple busi-
ness in Kings Mountain that recently cel-
ebrated its 50th anniversary.
