The Northeast Judicial Court of Devils Lake, North Dakota sentenced Myron Wittwer to serve 30 days in the Bottineau County Jail with 30 days suspended for a period of 1 year, and placed him on unsupervised probation for a period of one year, on condition that he pay North Dakota Workers Compensation $4000 in restitution by April 2003, for failing to secure workers compensation coverage and filing false workers compensation claims.
He was also ordered to pay an $80 fine and $20 to the victim/witness crime fund. Judge Lester Ketterling sentenced Wittwer on two Class A misdemeanor counts, after the original charges of class C felonies were reduced.
Wittmer’s violations were discovered as a result of a routine check by a NDWC Claims Analyst that led to an investigation by NDWC’s Special Investigations Unit, which ultimately determined that while Wittwer was receiving NDWC benefits, he failed to report earnings from a business venture and failed to provide NDWC coverage for his employees.
The failure to report his employment and income in excess of $500 constituted a violation of the law.
