A former Bluffton man was indicted by an Allen County Grand Jury after he filed an insurance claim alleging fire damage and loss, according to the Bluffton Police Department.

Justin R. Fout, formerly of North Main Street, filed an insurance claim related to a fire in the 500 block of North Main Street on Dec. 29, 2010. The fire destroyed a mobile home and caused minor damage to a business property next door.

The fire cause was ruled undetermined, but no suspicious activity was suspected.

Fout filed a claim with USAA Insurance alleging personal property loss as a result of smoke, electrical and fire damage. Investigators discovered there was no damage to the residence occupied by Fout, or to any contents located in the property.

Fout faces a two count indictment for Theft by Deception, and Insurance Fraud. He will face trial in September in the Allen County Common Pleas Court.
