(Calexico Doctor Mohamed Asiad enters a plea)…The Doctor was in Court Thursday.
He was being arraigned on a felony charge of insurance fraud. Asiad told the court he was not guilty, and he refused a plea bargain offered by the District Attorney’s office. The Doctor said the charges were revenge for his critical comments to the Calexico Police Department and how they handled the investigation of an incident involving his son. Police say the investigation in the insurance fraud incident determined Dr. Asiad had taken one of his vehicles to Mexicali, and left it there. Investigators say he returned to the United States and reported the vehicle stolen. The Judge Thursday scheduled the next court date for June 9th.
