Local prosecutors provided updates on two felony cases of workers compensation insurance fraud this week.
In one case, former Ventura County firefighter Perry Adam Lieber was ordered to pay $198,025 in victim restitution and $30,000 in criminal fines, Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko s office said in a release. The 34-year-old Santa Barbara resident had previously pleaded guilty to making false material statements to get disability benefits while he worked for the Ventura County Fire Department. Victim agencies include the fire department and the county. He resigned from the fire agency in March 2020 after working there about three years.
More than $228,000 of Lieber s assets that had been frozen will be liquidated to satisfy the order, prosecutors said. Lieber will also serve 90 days jail time and 24 months probation.
