An Ohio truck driver was ordered to pay restitution after he pleaded guilty to committing $12,000 in workers' compensation fraud.

Marshall Winn IV of Niles was injured in 2014 and claimed he was unable to work, but the state Bureau of Workers' Compensation found evidence that he had started working again in 2015 and was running his own trucking company, Jim Wernecke, director of the bureau's special investigations unit, said in a news release Friday.

Winn pleaded this week in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.

The judge sentenced him to five years' probation, and $12,450 in restitution and court costs.
