GREENVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — The ex-wife of the former director for the Greenville Public Safety Department faces as much as four years in prison when she is sentenced on multiple counts of heath care fraud.
A jury deliberated for about five hours Thursday following a three-day trial in Kent County Circuit Court where she was charged with eight counts of filing a false claim as well as concealing information and making a false claim.
She was found not guilty of seven counts of false claims but convicted of the remaining charges. She will remain in jail until her sentencing June 22.

The couple is accused of defrauding the insurance corporation out of $113,000 over 15 months.
