RICHLAND, Wash.-A professional fighter originally from Richland is wanted on charges of insurance fraud out of Benton County.
According to the Office of the Washington State Insurance Commissioner, Bryan Caraway failed to appear for a recent pretrial hearing in Benton County Superior Court and an arrest warrant was issued on Oct. 3.
Caraway, a professional mixed martial arts fighter known as “Kid Lightning” has a record of 21-10 as a fighter, according to his ESPN biography.
Caraway was charged with forgery, first-degree attempted theft, filing a false insurance claim and making a false statement on a vehicle application certificate of title by the Benton County Prosecutor’s Office following an investigation by the Insurance Commissioner’s Criminal Investigations Unit.
The charges stemmed from an investigation into an all-terrain vehicle that Caraway claimed was stolen in 2018.
According to the Insurance Commissioner’s Office, an investigation showed that Caraway forged the title and that the ATV was not stolen but was owned by and in possession of his ex-girlfriend.
Anyone with any information on Caraway’s whereabouts is asked to contact law enforcement.
