SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A California corrections officer has been convicted of lying about being hurt so he could illegally receive disability benefits from the state.
Ryan Patrick Wenker, 35, was convicted of making a false statement to fraudulently obtain compensation, according to Sacramento County District Attorney Jan Scully, who posted the information on Facebook on Tuesday.
After Wenker said he was hurt, Facebook posts and video surfaced, along with his standings in a bike race that took place May 12, 2010 in Prairie City, according to documents that were part of an investigation done by the Department of Corrections.
