A Taylor County man was recently sentenced to a year in federal prison for crop insurance fraud.
According to court documents, 61-year-old Robert “Robbie” Thomas Hunt of Campbellsville was sentenced to 12 months and 1 day in prison, followed by 2 years of supervised release, for committing crop insurance fraud beginning in 2014 through 2021.
During that time, Hunt sold crops under the names of other people and significantly underreported his true production on crop insurance claim forms, resulting in over $1.6 million in fraudulent insurance overpayments.
Hunt entered a guilty plea on the charge back in March. He will also be required to pay more than $1.6 million in restitution
