Former Fresno sheriff's deputy now a wanted man after arson, fraud investigation

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A former Fresno County sheriff's deputy is now a wanted man after disappearing when he was supposed to get punished for insurance fraud.

Sher Moua lost his job as a deputy last year when Clovis police investigated him for setting fire to his own SUV.

Investigators learned he'd bought a special insurance policy to increase its value just three days earlier.

He skipped a meeting this month with the probation officer figuring out what his punishment should be, and then skipped court Tuesday when a judge was supposed to punish him.

There's now a warrant out for his arrest.
