Seggebruch was taken into custody on January 9 after his probation was revoked.

As part of his probation, Seggebruch was banned from participating in USDA programs and was to pay $300,759 to Heartland Crop Insurance. According to printed reports, Seggebruch admitted violating his probation by participating in the Federal Crop Insurance program through Sega Ag Production, Inc., owned by his sister; taking out a $64,981 loan to purchase a Ford Super Duty truck without prior approv- al from the U.S. Probation Office; violating a state order of protection against him obtained by his wife; and fail- ing to notify his probation officer of his November 27, 2019 arrest for violating the order of protection.
