The former director of a school for troubled youth in Roswell is being investigated after authorities said she stole thousands from parents and passed herself off as a doctor.Roswell police arrested Rommys Beltran on Thursday on more than 18 charges, including theft, fraud and tampering with physical evidence, stemming from her time running Advanced Youth Academy on Holcomb Bridge Road.
”The person in charge of the school was charging people tuition and essentially really taking their money for services they couldn’t provide, Roswell Officer Lisa Holland told reporters.
The insurance commissioner’s office said Beltran is facing additional charges because it said she billed insurance companies for psychological services she provided, despite not being a doctor.
In a news release, Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said Beltran was illegally billing for services.
”We have discovered more than $300,000 in insurance claims submitted for payment by Beltran before her arrest, Hudgens said. ”My investigators believe that many of the claims are fraudulent.
”Justice needs to be done, not just for my son, but for all the families that haven’t even come forward, parent Rhonda Repasz said.
