An area convenience store is shut-down, raided Tuesday morning, for the alleged failure to pay state taxes.
Agents from the Kansas Department of Revenue and the Jackson County Sheriff's Office seized the business assets of Kathy's Inc. which , according to the Kansas Department of Revenue, owes 1-point-7-million-dollars in state retailers sales tax.
All known bank accounts, on-site cash, business inventory and personal property assets were seized from Kathy L. Kaul Kennedy, owner of Kathy's General Store.
The business is located south of Holton, at 19075 U.S. Highway 75, sitting on the west side of the highway.
Agents sealed the business closed, and the Department of Revenue plans to sell all assets at public auction to pay the taxes owed.
According to a news release issued by the Department of Revenue, following the raid, warrant execution occurs when all other collection attempts have been exhausted.
Only after several unsuccessful attempts does the department take the action of seizing assets, which in this instance resulted in the business being closed.
