Christi Rowan-Hecker Moved To Illinois Prison

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The wife of beleaguered auto mogul Denny Hecker has been moved to a federal prison in southern Illinois.

Christi Rowan-Hecker, 37, has been relocated to the Federal Correctional Institution in Greenville, Ill. Her records show up on the prison's inmate roster.

Rowan-Hecker, who is still referred to as simply Christi Rowan in the Illinois prison's roster, was previously being held in Sherburne County.

In March, she was sentenced to 14 months in federal prison for stealing money that belonged to Denny Hecker's creditors. She is set to be released next February.

She was also ordered to pay about $36,000 in restitution and serve five years of probation.

Rowan-Hecker was recently married to Hecker in an over-the-phone ceremony.
