A Nevada man faces one year to four years in prison after entering a guilty plea to a felony insurance charge as part of a scheme to obtain money from his insurer.

Jorge Moreno, 24, entered the plea in connection with a July 4, 2008, incident that accidentally killed Fabian Cedeno, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.

The Nevada Attorney General’s Office said Moreno attempted to help his friend, Oscar Zavala-Gallegos, destroy his 2002 Cadillac Escalade to obtain money from his insurance company. Zavala-Gallegos could not afford his monthly payments for the vehicle, according to the report, and owed more than the value of the vehicle.

In an attempt to make it appear as if someone stole and vandalized the car, Zavala-Gallegos parked the vehicle at a local mall, leaving the keys inside. Cedeno and Moreno took the car and broke out its windows.

In order to further damage the car, Moreno told authorities that Cedeno was driving toward a guardrail and tried to jump to safety before the collision. Cedeno fell and suffered a fatal head injury.

Moreno drove Cedeno to a hospital, where he told hospital staff the injured man had been beaten in a bar fight.

Moreno will be sentenced in November. Zavala-Gallegos has entered a guilty plea for conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and will be sentenced later this week.
