FERGUS FALLS, MINN. – Two Otter Tail residents have been charged with fraud.
According to court documents, 26-year-old Kara Gondringer of Fergus Falls is accused of not updating her income for medical assistance since moving to Otter Tail County in February. A fraud investigator determined that Gondringer received more than $3,000 more than allowed as a result of her failure to comply with a number of medical assistance rules, employment information, and other violations. Gondringer is charged with one count of Wrongfully Receiving Assistance.
Court documents say 30-year-old Bailey Ann Freel of Perham also failed to report her income for medical assistance. The fraud investigator determined that due to her failure to update her income, Freel was overpaid more than $7,900 between September 2023 and May 2024. Freel claimed that she did not report her income since none of her employers provided insurance. Freel is charged with one count of Wrongfully Receiving Assistance.
