A former Oneida County man has been arrested for allegedly filing false income tax returns and impeding the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in its administration of the internal revenue laws.
Dale J. Sexton, 47, was taken into custody at his residence in Bradenton, Florida, this morning. The ex-locals was named last week as the sole defendant in an indictment that was unsealed during his arraignment before a federal judge in Tampa, Florida.
The indictment, unsealed today, alleges that for tax years 2005 through 2008, Sexton concealed tens of thousands of dollars in income derived from various business interests and investments.
According to the indictment, Sexton filed false income tax returns and made false and misleading statements to the Internal Revenue Service when confronted about his taxable income and tax due and owing for these years.
The false statements and false filings were allegedly made in Utica, New York, in the Northern District of New York.
The charges filed against Sexton carry a maximum sentence of up to 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
United States Attorney Richard S. Hartunian and Shantelle P. Kitchen, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), Special Agent in Charge, New York Field Office, announced the charges.
This case is being investigated by IRS-CI (Syracuse), and it is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael F. Perry.
The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
