A North Platte, Neb., man accused of driving his car into a canal so he could collect on his insurance has been sent to prison.
Court records say 32-year-old Josh Salisbury was sentenced to 18 to 36 months for insurance fraud and other crimes. He’d pleaded no contest and was convicted after taking a plea deal.
Police say Salisbury reported on June 28, 2014, that the car was parked in front of his home when it was stolen. The car was pulled from the canal in Lincoln County on Aug. 11, 2014.
Police says investigators later learned that Salisbury drove the car into the canal and collected $27,500 in insurance.
