(Radio Iowa) – A central Iowa woman has pleaded guilty to felony charge of presenting false information for an insurance claim. Thirty-five-year old Tonya Weber of Marshalltown made the plea after an investigation by the Iowa Insurance Division of Weber’s report of an injury from a fall in the shower of a hotel room at the Meskwaki Bingo and Casino Hotel in February 2024.

Weber provided an image of a bruised limb that was later discovered to have been a picture downloaded from the internet.

Weber received a five year suspended prison sentence and was also ordered to pay a fine of one-thousand-25 dollars and restitution in the amount of one-thousand-152 dollars.
