A federal judge has sentenced a Blacklick chiropractor to one year in prison for insurance fraud. 45-year-old Jeffrey Shope owned True Health Chiropractic in Westerville. Prosecutors say he illegally obtained nearly 700 thousand dollars from federal health care benefit programs by billing for equipment and services not rendered, and billing two separate programs for identical services.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
