A spokesperson for the Carroll County Circuit Court in Westminster, Maryland told THR that a warrant for the arrest of the Osefo was executed on Thursday and they were booked in all on 16 charges, including seven felonies. The Osefos are alleged to have made false and misleading information leading to insurance fraud in excess of $300. The criminal charges follow an April 2024 burglary reported by the Osefos at their home, after which they allegedly made false theft claims for luxury items to their insurers.
