(KNZA)--A Jackson County jury has convicted a former Mayetta man, accused of falsely reporting a crime, on multiple charges.
Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller says Thomas McLaughlin II was convicted Friday of a fraudulent insurance act, making false information and obstructing law enforcement following a nearly week long trial.
McLaughlin was convicted of falsely reporting a burglary at his residence on August 2, 2016, and then later filing an insurance claim on property he never owned.
McLaughlin is to be sentenced May 24 in the Jackson County District Court. Miller said he is expected to receive probation based on his criminal history.
