On Tuesday, Deborah Specht, 60, of Marshalltown, pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree theft. Specht was originally charged with one count of fraudulent submissions, a class D felony and one count of first-degree theft, a class C felony, following an investigation by the Iowa Insurance Division’s Fraud Bureau.
“Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime. We all pay for insurance fraud in the form of higher insurance costs,” Iowa Insurance Commissioner Doug Ommen said. “I appreciate the hard work of our Fraud Bureau and all who participated in the prosecution of this case so Ms. Specht was held accountable for her actions.”

Roberts pled guilty to Theft in the 3rd degree, and received a deferred judgement and two years probation, and is ordered to pay nearly $7,000 in restitution and additional court costs.
