U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Montana
GREAT FALLS — The owner of firearms business in Great Falls was charged with filing false income tax returns after an undercover investigation determined the owner did not report 20 percent, or approximately $1.4 million, of his gross receipts, resulting in a tax loss of almost $500,000, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said today.
A grand jury indictment filed on Aug. 1 in U.S. District Court charges the defendant, Tommy Michael VanHoose, 66, with five counts of submitting a false tax return. If convicted, VanHoose faces a maximum of three years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and one year of supervised release on each count.
A summons was issued for VanHoose to appear for arraignment on Sept. 10 before U.S. Magistrate Judge John T. Johnston in Great Falls.

Holy guacamole, that’s the same gun pusher who got raided in a surprise and all the local and state MAGAs were in a frothing tizzy that the feds would ever dare raid a gun pusher. And now it turns out he’s accused of kinda massive tax cheating.
So that’s what all the MAGAs especially including Rosendale are defending, tax cheats? All the while they carry on about government deficits?
