Ryan Borgwardt, a Wisconsin man and father of three, was sentenced to 89 days in jail after being convicted of obstructing an officer for faking his own drowning while kayaking. Authorities said Borgwardt staged the incident to disappear and flee the United States to the country of Georgia, where he intended to meet a woman he had connected with online. The 89-day jail sentence corresponds to the length of time he was missing. Borgwardt left behind his wife of 22 years and their children during this period. The case drew national attention due to the elaborate nature of the scheme and the impact on his family.
