Kuhn, Jr. Christopher Chad Pruitt, 39, and Jimmy Lee Pruitt, 47, admitted in court yesterday to evading federal income taxes on the illegally obtained income. The brothers' scheme involved stealing copper wire from Belden, Inc., located in Wayne County, Kentucky, and then selling the stolen copper wire to Bowling Green Recycling (BGR), located in Warren County, Kentucky. Jimmy Pruitt, a manager at Belden, would arrange for the theft of the copper wire through the use of false invoices. BGR would pay the brothers with checks. The brothers would then convert the BGR checks into cashier's checks made payable to themselves and deposit the cashier checks into their personal bank accounts or tender the cashier's checks for cash. In a separate plea agreement, Christopher Pruitt admitted to participating in the scheme with his brother Jimmy Pruitt to steal copper wire from Belden, Inc. and sell the stolen copper wire to BGR. Christopher Pruitt did not file an individual income tax return in 2009 or 2010; he filed an individual income tax return each year from 2011 through 2013, but never reported any of the income received from the stolen copper wire. According to the plea agreement, Christopher Pruitt acknowledges owing $94,030 to the IRS, exclusive of penalties and interest, prior to sentencing. Further, Christopher Pruitt admitted owing an additional tax due for the tax years of 2007 and 2008 of $6,647 bringing his total tax liability to $100,677. Jimmy Pruitt faces up to 25 years in prison, a combined maximum fine of $500,000, and a one-year term of supervised release.
