Hecker's Girlfriend Avoids Jail; Another Auction Planned

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Denny Hecker's girlfriend avoided going to jail on Tuesday, but just barely.

Christi Rowan and her attorney angered bankruptcy Judge Robert Kressel by submitting a pile of unsigned documents right before Tuesday's hearing.

He said they didn't account for how much money she got from a disputed insurance policy and how she'd spent it.

The bankruptcy trustee is trying to recover $154,000 of insurance money that Hecker cashed out after it was supposed to be frozen.

Kressel gave Rowan until a week from Friday to come up with acceptable answers. If not, she could go to jail.

Meantime, another auction of items once owned by Hecker will take place on Dec. 11. Items include ATVs, scooters, a Segway and a pair of boxing gloves. Click here to visit the auctioneer's website.
