Two eastern Kentucky insurance agents and an agency employee have been ordered to pay fines, serve probationary sentences and perform public service work on their guilty pleas in a fraud case.

The sentences were given to CS&W Insurance Services owner Thomas J. Childers of Hazard, agent Karen Lynetta Fox-Burns and customer services representative Shannon Ranee Hogg, who The Lexington Herald-Leader identified as Fox-Burns’ daughter.

All three pleaded guilty in April to one count of misprison of a felony.

They were accused of lying about the number of workers a client employed and the size of the company payroll to get a lower workers’ compensation premium for him.
