Two law enforcement officers form the New Orleans area have been sentenced for their roles in a plot to make a fraudulent insurance claim.
U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance sentenced 43-year-old former New Orleans Police Sgt. Kevin Guillot to 11 months in prison and 40-year-old former Jefferson Parish sheriff’s deputy Daniel Spears received six months. Both also must serve a year of supervised release.
Guillot’s 34-year-old nephew, Anthony Venezia, was sentenced to a year’s probation and 50 hours of community service.
Federal prosecutors say Guillot falsely reported that his truck had been stolen from a boat launch in Jefferson Parish last year. Spears allegedly wrote a false report to back up Guillot’s claim and Venezia made false statements to the insurance company to support Guillot’s story.
