SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A former Springfield man who fled Missouri for Mexico nearly seven years ago has pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges.
The office of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri says 57-year-old Scott Christopher Lucas, also known as Scott C. Bogan, pleaded guilty Monday to failing to file tax returns from 2002 through 2005 when he worked as a time-share salesman in Branson.
Court documents show he fled to Mexico when he learned he was being investigated. He returned to the U.S. in April, and was arrested in Denver.
He has to repay about $125,000 for unpaid taxes, plus interest. Lucas also will be required to pay about $41,000 in restitution to the state of Missouri for state taxes evaded.
