An Escambia County insurance agent was sentenced to federal prison today for defrauding athletes by selling them fake insurance policies.
Kevin D. Webster, 44, was sentenced Thursday to 21 months in prison for wire fraud, and hew as ordered to pay $144,229.07 in restitution.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Florida Department of Financial Services.
