LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Campbellsville, Kentucky, man will spend one year in prison after he was convicted of crop insurance fraud.
The United States Department of Justice said in a news release Thursday that Robert Hunt, 61, sold crops under other people's names between 2014-21 and "significantly underreported his true production on crop insurance claim forms."
In total, Hunt's claims resulted in $1.6 million fraudulent insurance overpayments, the DOJ said. He pleaded guilty March 27, 2025.
On Aug. 26, he was sentenced to 12 months and 1 day in federal prison, fined $250,000 and ordered to pay more than $1.6 million and restitution.
