Four months of jail for Utah man accused of causing 22 car crashes in five years for insurance payouts

WEST JORDAN ∗ A Utah man received a 120-day jail sentence Tuesday for purposefully causing 22 car crashes in a five-year period to collect insurance money.

Navid Monjazeb, 37, appeared to be opposed to the sentence. His attorney, Katherine Conyers, advocated for the judge to follow a presentence investigation report recommending six days in jail with credit for time served.

“I know I didn’t do everything right here, but I think it’s unfair to take the blame for what everybody has done,” Monjazeb said.
