(KAIR)--A Jefferson County man is indicted by a federal grand jury for tax fraud.

According to a news release from the office of U.S. Attorrney Stephen McAllister, the indictment, charging David Monhollon with seven counts of willful failure to pay over employment taxes to the IRS, was returned Wednesday.

According to the indictment, Monhollon failed to pay over federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld from the wages paid to employees of his medical staffing company, First Call Medical Group. The indictment alleges that Monhollon was the owner of First Call and was obligated to pay over to the IRS such payroll taxes on behalf of his company. Instead of remitting the money to the IRS, Monhollon allegedly used the funds to pay for personal expenses including racecar parts and equipment. .

If convicted, Monhollon faces a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison for each count. He also faces a period of supervised release, restitution and monetary penalties.

Announcement of the indictment was made in conjunction with Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard Zuckerman of the Justice Department's Tax Division.
