(KAIR)--One year and a day behind bars.
That’s the sentence given to the Basehor, Kansas woman whose business failed to pay more than $850,000 in federal taxes.
According to a press release from U.S. Attorney Tom Beall, 53-year-old Elizabeth Lucero was sentenced Tuesday for willful failure to collect or pay over employment tax.
Lucero owned Sunshine Home Health, a business with nearly 70 employees. From 2007 to 2011, Lucero’s company withheld payments from employee’s paychecks including federal income taxes, Medicare and Social Security taxes.
In addition, the release said Lucero used company profits to pay hundreds of thousands of dollar of her personal expenses—including cash withdraws at casinos and a $50,000 Cadillac Escalade.
As part of her prison sentence, she’ll also pay nearly $857,000 in restitution.
