Jackson County Man Charged With Tax Evasion

A Jackson County man faces possible prison time for charges of tax evasion and theft.

A Jackson County grand jury indictment accuses 24-year-old Johnny F. Stafford Jr. of evading tax due to the state by filing false documents.

If convicted, Stafford could be sentenced to a maximum of two years in prison for a single county of tax evasion. He faces a maximum of six years behind bars for a felony count of theft of property. Potential fines could amount to at least $13,000.

The Jackson County grand jury indicted Stafford on the charges last week. Jackson County authorities arrested Stafford on Thursday.
