Slickvic Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Next time buy a Subaru, Buddy. Akron man Matthew Mueller, 35, was sentenced Tuesday to a year in prison for insurance fraud, tampering with evidence, falsification and receiving stolen property. Mueller, who owns a tree service company, will reimburse Progressive Insurance and also pay $15,500 to the State Highway Patrol and Ohio Department of Transportation for their costs, which included bringing equipment from Columbus to dig up the vehicle. "I guess it was a lot easier to dig a hole and push it in than to dig it out," Assistant Portage County Prosecutor Eugene Muldowney said after the sentencing. Muldowney gave this account: Mueller decided to get rid of the 1997 BMW because its engine had blown and repair costs were extensive. Mueller rented a backhoe in October, 2002, and buried the car on isolated property owned by his father on Lynn Road in Rootstown Township. Mueller then told an insurance agent that the car was stolen from Akron, probably by someone who found the car keys that he had lost. He filed a police report and signed insurance documents to get his money. In 2003 Mueller, worried that one of the friends who knew of his actions might have told authorities, rented a backhoe and tried to dig up the car. He abandoned his efforts after the backhoe became mired in mud and water and was damaged. Last year, after police received tips, the car was located and excavated. Mueller pleaded guilty on Aug. 30. He apologized Tuesday and brought restitution checks. "It was stupidity and completely out of character," he said. "I broke the law and tried to conceal it." Keith sought probation, but Kainrad cited Mueller's prior convictions, which he said included assault and disorderly conduct. "I think these cases have disclosed a real character flaw," Kainrad said. "When you are in trouble, you'll do anything to get out of it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
