Wendy and Eddie made headlines earlier this month when they were indicted on insurance fraud, conspiracy insurance fraud and making false statements to police officers, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.

The pair were booked in Westminster, Maryland, and were released the following day after posting $50,000 bond each, a rep for the Carroll County Detention Center confirmed to Us.

“Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Edward Osefo, are back home safely with their family and in good spirits,” a rep for the pair told Us in a statement. “They are grateful for the outpouring of concern and support from friends, fans, and colleagues. The Osefos, alongside their legal team, look forward to their day in court. At this time, they respectfully ask for privacy as they focus on their family and the legal process ahead.”

One year earlier, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported burglary at Wendy and Eddie’s home. After returning from a trip to Jamaica in 2024, the duo claimed several designer bags and pieces of jewelry had been stolen.

“There was a screen with damage laying on the roof, and the window was not locked. To go in or out of that window, one has to step on the toilet. The toilet lid was down and had no debris on it. When Sheriff’s office personnel stepped onto the roof and back into the home, they tracked roof ‘grit’ back inside,” the docs read.

The docs continued, “The Osefos had an ADT system and a ring camera. The Osefos activated the ADT alarm system upon leaving for vacation. During the time they were away, there was no motion detected inside the residence. There was activity, such as package deliveries, on the ring camera that was monitored remotely by the Osefos.”

Eddie shared statements with two insurance companies regarding the stolen items at the time. He and Wendy signed their statements, claiming $2,500 in damages to their home and $450,000 in property.

After the alleged burglary, Eddie included Wendy’s gold diamond anniversary band in the insurance claim. They received a $25,380 settlement from Travelers Insurance. In a second claim with Jewelers Mutual Insurance, Wendy’s gold diamond anniversary band was not mentioned nor was the Travelers Insurance settlement.

Authorities reportedly saw photographs of Wendy wearing the stolen band after the reported burglary A search and seizure warrant on their home found that at least 15 items Wendy and Eddie claimed were stolen were in the house. In docs obtained by Us, the investigation found that the pair were allegedly “burdened by substantial debt.”
