ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A Santa Fe man who worked as an electrical engineer at Los Alamos National Laboratory for nearly 30 years has been convicted of violating federal tax laws.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says jurors Thursday convicted 61-year-old Darryl J. Gutierrez of 10 counts of filing false tax returns and one count of obstructing and impeding the administration of the internal revenue laws.
The office says Gutierrez faces up to three years in prison on each count when he’s sentenced.
According to the office, Gutierrez for years regularly and timely filed income tax returns but then stopped complying with federal tax laws and began taking steps to prevent the IRS from assessing and collecting his taxes.
The office says Gutierrez filed 10 false federal income tax returns for 2000 through 2009.
