Man arrested following insurance fraud investigation in Tennessee
HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A man is facing charges following an insurance fraud investigation, according to the Hendersonville Police Department.
HPD said they began investigating after they received a complaint that Richard Wolfe, 67, was allegedly selling insurance policies without remitting the required premiums, and because of this, those policies were canceled without the victims’ knowledge.
After the investigation, the case was presented to the Sumner County Grand Jury, which indicted Wolfe, of Hendersonville, on several charges including:
- Theft of Property ($60,000–$250,000)
- Seven counts of Theft of Property ($10,000–$60,000)
- Five counts of Theft of Property ($2,500–$10,000)
- Theft of Property ($1,000–$2,500)
- Three counts of Forgery (over $250,000)
- Money Laundering
Wolfe was arrested Thursday and was booked into the Sumner County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He is set to appear in court in March.

Tennessee State men’s hockey has once again canceled its inaugural season.
The first ever ice hockey team at an historically Black, public university was expected to begin play in 2025-26, but the season was canceled due to a fundraising shortfall. Now, the team has canceled its 2026-27 season according to a source with knowledge of the situation who wished to remain anonymous because the news is not public.
The Tennessean reached out to Tennessee State president Dwayne Tucker, who decline to comment on the situation.
The Tennessee State’s men’s hockey website does not have a schedule, roster, or any team events listed on its website. The site’s most recent update was July 10 of last year, an announcement about the 2025-26 season cancellation. Requests for additional information about the hockey team have gone unanswered.
This delay in the start of the men’s hockey team comes three years after the team’s inception was announced at Bridgestone Arena ahead of the 2023 NHL Draft. The Nashville Predators and NHL were instrumental in bringing a team to Tennessee State, and a representative with the Predators confirmed that support is ongoing.
While the 2025-26 cancellation followed unrest about the school’s financial situation, it’s unclear if this year’s cancellation is for the same reason or if its related to the school’s recent turmoil in the athletic department.
In May, six coaches gave a vote of no confidence for Tennessee State’s athletic director Mikki Allen. A letter to Dwayne Tucker on May 29 expressed concern about the “current direction, leadership, communication, and operational management of the athletic department” under Allen.
Men’s hockey coach Duante Abercrombie was not among the six coaches mentioned in the letter.
