A 36-year-old Prior Lake man pleaded guilty to insurance fraud last week in Scott County District Court.
Mateo Ansono Rossini reported his motorcycle was stolen last fall from the parking lot of the Cherrywood Center on County Road 42 in Savage. That report initiated a four-month long investigation by Savage Police that turned up evidence that Rossini worked with a friend to conceal his custom chopper in a storage garage in Wisconsin.
Rossini pleaded guilty Jan. 25 to one count of insurance fraud and one count of falsely reporting a crime. Judge William E. Macklin accepted his “Alford Plea,” which means Rossini does not admit to the criminal act, but he does admit that prosecutors could likely prove the charges during a trial. Rossini will be sentenced by Macklin on April 4.
Rossini’s partner in the alleged fraud, Brian Hansen, was sentenced by Judge Rex D. Stacey to one year in jail; but will serve 70 days, after he pleaded guilty to theft Oct. 8 in Scott County District Court.
