Terry Lee Villers of Wirt County, W.Va. has been sentenced to two felony counts of workers’ compensation fraud according to Insurance Commissioner Jane L. Cline. Villers was sentenced Dec. 16 in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County to two terms of one year probation to run consecutively and ordered to pay restitution in the amount if $11,726.04.

Villers pleaded guilty in Kanawha County Circuit Court Oct. 11 to knowingly securing benefits to which he was not entitled and to making a false statement under oath. Both charges stem from Villers’ claim in September 2004 that he was injured while working as a school bus driver for the Wirt County Board of Education.
