WV School Board Member Sentenced On Tax Evasion
WEST VIRGINIA....
A former member of the Logan County school board has been sentenced to prison for a year and a day. U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver Jr. sentenced 43-year-old Alison Lambert of Man on Wednesday in Charleston federal court. Lambert also must repay more than $256,000 to the Internal Revenue Service and pay a $10,000 fine. Lambert pleaded guilty in April to evading taxes by underreporting income from a motel, restaurant and bar and tobacco store owned by her family. Federal investigators say Lambert skimmed almost $1 million between 2004 and 2008.
