A Paynesville man has appeared in court on charges of felony insurance fraud.
40-year-old Brian Paglusch is charged with felony insurance fraud for having someone steal his ATV in order for him to collect the insurance money, then getting it back and hiding it.
According to court documents back in August, Willmar Police responded to a theft report by Paglusch.
He claimed his 2005 Polaris Sportsman four-wheeler and trailer were stolen.
This past March the Kandiyohi Sheriff received an anonymous letter saying Paglusch had falsely reported the ATV stolen and gave the whereabouts of the ATV.
Detectives went to the location and discovered the four-wheeler.
Paglusch received more than $5,000 from his insurance company.
He has been released on his own recognizance and his next court appearance is set for June 1st.
