Omaha Man Faces Four Counts of Tax Evasion
Omaha, Nebraska – In a shocking turn of events, a local man has been charged with tax evasion, a crime that could land him in prison for up to three years and cost him a whopping $250,000.
Mark A. Harrell, age 34, was recently indicted by a federal grand jury on four counts of aiding and assisting in the preparation of false tax returns for the 2012 filing year. The indictment alleges that Harrell included fraudulent information as to the taxpayers’ wages, wage withholding, and claims of American Opportunity Credit.
As a result of Harrell’s actions, the taxpayers received a larger refund than they were entitled to receive. This is a clear case of tax evasion, and we will do everything in our power to bring Harrell to justice.

Harrell is charged with four counts of aiding and assisting in the preparation of false tax returns. The penalty on each count is a maximum of three years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.
The people of Omaha demand justice, and we will not rest until Harrell is held accountable for his crimes.
The exact date of the indictment was not specified, but it is clear that Harrell’s actions have consequences.
The defendant’s real full name is Mark A. Harrell, and he is a resident of Omaha, Nebraska.
