A Salinas trucking company owner was ordered to spend 300 days in jail and pay more than $60,000 in fines for falsifying the number of his employees and the scope of their work

Monterey County Superior Court Judge Russell Scott sentenced Ricardo Casillas, 33, on charges of insurance fraud, workers’ compensation fraud and payroll tax evasion, the District Attorney’s Office said.

Casillas owns Desert Express Transportation Lines and Casillas Transportation Services.

Casillas was also placed on probation for 10 years and ordered to pay about $350,000 in restitution to the state Employment Development Department for failing to file payroll taxes, prosecutors said. An insurance carrier is seeking another $108,000 in unpaid insurance premiums.
