    COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WKRN) — An 80-year-old man has been indicted for tax evasion after an investigation conducted by the Tennessee Department of Revenue.

    A Maury County Grand Jury indicted Slone on two counts of tax evasion on Friday, June 28. The indictments allege Slone provided false amounts on the registrations of two vehicles to the Maury County Clerk’s Office.

    “The Department of Revenue has always been committed to making sure Tennessee’s tax laws and procedures are applied uniformly to ensure fairness,” Revenue Commissioner David Gerragano said. “We can never allow individuals engaged in fraudulent tax activity to have a competitive advantage over honest Tennesseans.”

    If convicted, Slone faces a maximum sentence of two years in a state penitentiary and a $3,000 fine for tax evasion.
