Man Pleads Guilty To Tax Evasion, Flying Without A License

Had Surrendered Pilot Certificate In 2012

A North Carolina man faces a prison term and hefty fines for failing to pay taxes and operating an airplane without a license.

Television station WGHP reports that according to court documents, Paul Douglas Tharp has pleaded guilty to filing false documents with the IRS, and that he failed to report that he owned an airport and an investment company.

He also did not file tax returns from 2003 to 2006, and filed returns in 2011-2013 that significantly underreported his income.

During his plea hearing, Tharp also admitted that he had acted as pilot in command of an airplane on four separate occasions after he surrendered his airman certificate on August 2, 2012. He piloted four flights from the Davidson County Airport after surrendering his license.

Tharp could spend five years in prison on the tax charges, and three years for each count of operating an airplane without a license.

Tharp also faces a fine of $250,000 for each count of piloting an airplane without a license, and is required to pay $281,366.62 in restitution to the IRS.
