A local sheriff’s deputy, who claimed he had suffered a back injury but may have been seen working out with heavy weights at a gym, has been charged with committing workers compensation insurance fraud resulting in $57,000 in losses, prosecutors announced Monday. Matthew Tobolsky, 40, faces 14 counts including insurance fraud, filing a false claim, attempted perjury and failing to disclose information that affects a payment, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
The charges carry a potential sentence of up to 15 years in custody, which would most likely be served in county jail.
