SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Trial has been set the week of Jan. 23
for a South Dakota sheriff's deputy accused of theft during a
previous job.
Douglas County Deputy Rob Hotchkiss is accused of submitting
fraudulent insurance applications to obtain commissions while
working for a Sioux Falls insurance company in 2008.
The 41-year-old Delmont man has been relieved of his deputy duties
until the case is resolved. He faces four counts of felony grand
theft by deception. If he's convicted he could face up to 40 years
in prison.
