HARTFORD, Ala. (WTVY) – Federal court records show a former Hartford, Alabama insurance agent has pleaded guilty to crop fraud.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors say Jonathan Lawrence Eubanks forged paperwork submitted to Great American Insurance Company to secure crop insurance for a farmer, including a document containing false information submitted well after the deadline for cotton crop insurance.<\/p>\n
Eubanks could face up to 30 years in prison, though prosecutors indicted they may recommended a lighter sentence in exchange for his guilty plea.<\/p>\n
A U.S. district judge is scheduled to sentence Eubanks in July.<\/p>\n
Eubanks is represented by attorney George Beck, a former U.S. attorney who now focuses on white-collar criminal defense.<\/p>\n
