A Reno barber has been sentenced to a year in prison for submitting fictitious paperwork known as "sight drafts" to pay his personal income tax.
A jury in September convicted Albert R.
Salman, 65, owner of the Stead Barbershop, of two counts of submitting fictitious sight drafts to the IRS and two counts of attempting to interfere with the administration of IRS laws.
According to the court records, Salman submitted fictitious sight drafts for $750,000 and $250,000 in 1998 and 1999 to the IRS for the payment of his estimated federal personal income tax.
Salman must report for prison March 14.
IRS criminal agents investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S.
Attorney Brian Sullivan.
