A former agent pleaded guilty to one felony count of insurance fraud after backdating a policy for a relative in order to provide coverage for a damaged snowmobile. When the policy was created the snowmobile had already been damaged, but the agent backdated the policy, and the insurer paid $7,000 for the loss before the fraud was discovered. The former agent was sentenced to a unified sentence of 5 years, consisting of 2 years fixed plus 3 years indeterminate, a suspended sentence in favor of 3 years of supervised probation, completion of 10 days on the sheriff's work detail, completion of 40 hours of community service, and payment of fines and restitution.
