ARIZ. Businessman Charged with Multiple Violations
A Mesa, Ariz., man has been indicted for income tax evasion, corrupt interference with the due administration of the Internal Revenue Service and multiple counts of fraudulent use of a Social Security number.  According to the indictment, Stacey owned and operated a paving business under the names A to Z Paving, Triple A Paving, Texas Paving, Pave Your Way Construction, and A to Z Paving Engineering. Stacey did not file individual income tax returns as required by law for tax years 1995 to 2003. After being audited by the Internal Revenue Service, Stacey attempted to evade the payment of his 1995 to 1997 tax liabilities by, among other things, concealing assets using other people’s names. The indictment further alleges that Stacey tried to interfere with the IRS’s assessment of his 1998 to 2003 income tax liabilities by making false statements to an IRS civil auditor and using false social security numbers to prevent the IRS from receiving accurate information about his income and assets. Stacey faces up to five years in prison for tax evasion, up to three years for the corrupt endeavor charge and up to five years for fraudulent use of a Social Security number.
