Insurance executive Louis Lower, the longtime chief executive at Horace Mann Educators Corp., was placed on leave by the insurer’s board after they learned he was in jail.
The board suspended Lower over the weekend, at least three days after he began serving time in a Florida county jail. He was given a 60-day sentence on Sept. 8 after being charged over Memorial Day weekend in late May with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence that caused property damage or personal injury, according to records on the website of the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.
