A local man has pleaded guilty in a mail fraud scheme taking money from both homeowners and their insurance companies.
54 year old Benjamin Reichel entered his guilty plea in federal court.
Prosecutors say he operated Loss Recovery Specialists in Cleveland, which claimed to file insurance claims for people who had suffered property damage.
The scheme in question ran March of 2018 to June of 2019.
Prosecutors say Reichel charged the property owners for repairs and put the money in a trust account until the insurance paid off.
They say he then misused the funds in the account for personal and improper professional expenses.
Reichel agreed in his plea that the government could prove losses in the ragne between $550,000 and $1,500,000.
He has agreed to forfeit money and his home in Council Fire in Catoosa County as part of the settlement.
Reichel could get additional jail time when sentenced next spring.

Tennessee is one of four states where Pfizer will test its vaccine delivery and distribution program.
Pfizer chose Rhode Island, Texas, New Mexico and Tennessee to test their vaccine distribution plan.
The states were chosen based on their differences in size, population diversity and immunization infrastructure.
Reuters reports that being selected for the test delivery program does not mean Tennessee will get the vaccine before others.
Pfizer still needs to receive FDA approval for the vaccine and plans to produce 100 million doses of the vaccine for the federal government.
