ATTORNEY GENERAL PROSECUTES SALES TAX VIOLATOR
Attorney General Baker said, "My office will vigorously pursue and prosecute to the full extent of the law these cases of stealing sales tax revenue. This is nothing more than stealing out of the pockets of the citizens of this state, citizens who work hard and pay their taxes. I hope this prosecution and conviction sends a clear signal to others that if you are caught, you will be convicted."
The investigation of this case was conducted by the Georgia Department of Revenue. Commissioner of Revenue T. Jerry Jackson said, "I am very appreciative of the Attorney General's efforts to bring this case to a successful conclusion." Assistant Attorneys General Anthony J. Musto and Stacey K. Hydrick prosecuted the case.
