Default N.C. Couple Who Faked Crop Damage Jailed

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A couple who faked weather damage to their crops by having workers throw ice cubes onto a tomato field and then beat the plants were ordered Thursday to repay more than $9 million they received fraudulently.

Robert Warren must also serve six years and four months in prison, while his wife, Viki Warren, was sentenced to 5 1/2 years by U.S. District Court Judge Lacy Thornburg. The pair, from Candler, must repay $9.15 million to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for insurance payments and must forfeit $7.3 million in assets from their crimes, federal prosecutor Gretchen C.F. Shappert said.
