Former Anheuser-Busch InBev employee admits $460,000 fraud

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A former employee of Anheuser-Busch InBev has pleaded guilty to participating in a fraud scheme to receive about $460,000 in disability payments.

The U.S. attorney's office said Wednesday that Shannon Nenninger was one of at least a dozen people who participated in the scheme. She pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy.

In her plea, Nenninger said a chiropractor, Thomas Hobbs, had a reputation for helping company employees fraudulently claim disabilities payments by lying about their medical conditions and whether they can care for themselves. She said she paid Hobbs $6,100 and received more than $457,104 in disability payments between January 2013 and November 2017.

According to her plea, Hobbs received $3,501 for medically unnecessary tests and treatments. He has pleaded not guilty to charges in the case.
