A Denver judge Friday sentenced an airline pilot and tax protestor from Black Forest to 45 days in jail plus 10 years probation for failing to pay more than $60,000 in state taxes, penalties and interest, according to the Colorado Attorney General’s office.
Denver District Court Judge Kenneth M. Laff imposed the sentence on Jack Wharton Thomas, whom a jury found guilty of tax evasion, fraud by check, forgery and filing a false tax return.
Laff also suspended a three year prison sentence that Thomas will face if he fails to comply with the terms of his probation.
