Jacksonville Aviation Authority HR workers arrested in insurance fraud

A Jacksonville Aviation Authority human resources employee and the authority’s former human resources director were arrested last month on a variety of insurance fraud charges.

Cyndi Rooks, 50, was HR director at the authority for several years. She no longer works there, according to a woman who answered the phone at the authority. It is unclear exactly when she left.

Dellafay Chafin, 57, has worked at the authority for about three years, according to her LinkedIn profile. She did not respond to a message left on her work phone Tuesday afternoon.

Rooks was charged with organized fraud and five counts of filing false or fraudulent insurance claims less than $20,000, as well as forging a doctor’s certificate. She was released after posting $2,503 bail.

Chafin was charged with one count of filing a false insurance claim less than $100,000 and one of forging a doctor’s certificate. She was released after posting $10,003 bail.

A message left for authority spokesman Michael Stewart was not returned Tuesday morning.
