GREENVILLE, Mich. — Greenville’s public safety director and his ex-wife are heading to trial for insurance fraud.

Mark Reiss and Christine Reiss are accused of health care fraud for more than $100,000 from health insurance provided through the city of Greenville. Both cases were sent to circuit court Monday.

Reiss is facing up to four years in prison, but he’s still the head of Greenville police and fire.

“Based on the outcome of (Monday’s) hearing, I’ll be seeking legal counsel advice as to what his status will be going forward,” said Greenville City Manager George Bosanic.

Bosanic hopes to make a decision soon.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is alleging that Mark Reiss and his ex-wife defrauded the insurance company for $113,000 over 15 months. Reiss and his ex-wife divorced in August 2014, but she stayed on his insurance and used it to cover her medical care.
