Ryan Borgwardt, a kayaker from Wisconsin, returned to the U.S. after attempting to fake his death during a kayaking trip in August, prompting a major search.
Authorities initially believed Borgwardt had drowned, but investigations later revealed he planned to stage his death and was living in Europe.
Borgwardt faces several charges, including obstruction, after the police in Wisconsin invested significant resources in search efforts costing between $35,000 and $40,000.
Sheriff Mark Podoll noted that Borgwardt provided various reasons for faking his death, citing 'personal matters' as influential in his decision.
