For Immediate Release

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.
