LOUISVILLE (WAVE) -- WAVE 3 has uncovered that two Christian Academy of Louisville coaches are facing an insurance fraud indictment. Head football coach Dan English and his brother Thomas English owned two framing companies and were allegedly shuffling employees back and forth between companies when they had to make an insurance claim.
According to the indictment, that way they were able to avoid paying more than $250,000 to the state for insurance.
The news came as a shock to school officials who found out about the indictment Thursday. They met with the coaches and are investigating the allegations.
"Well, we're in the information gathering mode, so I don't know exactly what is going to happen. But we need to make sure we do our due diligence because these are allegations" said Steve Shubert, CAL athletic director.
Both Dan and Thomas English are charged with one count of insurance fraud. If convicted, they face a maximum of 5 years in prison.
We're told both coaches have decided to take a temporary leave of absence immediately until the allegations are resolved.
