DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The former owners of a West Des Moines bar have been given three years of probation for tax fraud.
Court records say 66-year-old James Perin and his wife, 62-year-old Mardeen Perin, were sentenced Wednesday.
Mardeen Perin pleaded guilty in December to aiding and assisting in the preparation of a false return. James Perin pleaded guilty to making and subscribing a false return.
Federal prosecutors say the Perins failed to report some cash income from Sully’s Irish Pub from 2008 to 2013, resulting in a tax loss to the U.S. government of more than $108,000. They must pay the back taxes and penalties and interest.
