The victim reported he had received an insurance renewal quote from High Ridge Agency in October 2017 for a full year commercial liability policy and excess coverage umbrella policy. The victim submitted full payment of premiums for both policies in an amount exceeding $33,000. In August 2018, the victim became aware that both policies were cancelled due to non- payment of a finance agreement.

According to a law enforcement database, Massotti is the owner of High Ridge Agency. The investigating officer submitted an arrest warrant application for Massotti, which was later approved.
