Wesley Snipes Arrest – Another Case of Profiling?
Newstoob has learned Wesley Snipes has been arrested on the east coast and taken into custody by federal authorities. The actor was arrested Friday morning after arriving at Orlando International Airport.
Snipes reported that his arrest was part of a witch hunt and that he was unfairly targeted by prosecutors in connection with a federal tax fraud investigation.
Wesley Snipes: Warrant Issued for His Arrest
Wesley Snipes is officially a fugitive of justice. According to the US Attorney's office, a warrant was issued last week after the feds filed charges that the actor defrauded the Internal Revenue Service of millions of dollars. The "White Men Can't Jump" star is accused of failing to pay nearly $12 million in taxes. Officials allege that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds in 1996 and 1997, and then failed to file returns between 1999 and 2006.
