A 77-year-old Albuquerque jewelry store owner faces over two years in prison after being sentenced for tax evasion.

A federal judge sentenced David Castle on Tuesday to 27 months in prison following his Dec. 3 guilty plea.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Mexico says Castle admitted committing tax evasion between 2010 through 2013 as sole owner and operator of the Gold and Silver Exchange, a business specializing in purchase, sale and repair of jewelry.
