A Ritzville, Wash., man has pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property in connection with illegally collecting workers’ compensation benefits while collecting wages from a nursing home managed by his wife.
Ronald E. Newton was ordered to repay the state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) $47,487 for illegally collecting workers’ comp benefits from January 2005 through December 2006. He was injured in 2004 while working as a truck driver for a Spokane trucking company.
“We aggressively go after people suspected of stealing from workers’ comp, and those who are caught will pay,” said Carl Hammersburg, manager of L&I’s Fraud Prevention and Compliance Program.
