Caraway, a native of Yakima in Washington state, was first charged after he was alleged to have stolen an all-terrain vehicle from his former girlfriend, ex-UFC bantamweight champion, Miesha Tate, before filing an insurance claim in relation to the ATV which was declared fraudulent.

“According to the investigation, Caraway reported the theft of a 2015 Polaris RZR all-terrain vehicle from his property in Richland in December 2018,” A 2021 statement from the insurance commission read. “He bought a policy for it from GEICO on Dec. 21 and filed the claim on Dec. 24. He told GEICO that he bought the vehicle and contents, including helmets, a battery charger and spare tire, for $18,500 and provided a title showing his ex-girlfriend gifted it to him in January 2018.”
