Unusual Suspect

My neighbor--he lives one block over--Stephen Baldwin, the "actor,"  has been arrested by my county's D.A. for failing to pay three years of state taxes, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.  He faces up to four years in prison if convicted. The "Christian right-wing Baldwin" stiffs the state while talking up God in his radio show (his car featured an ad for it on the back last time I saw it), although he did take down the Jesus signs outside his home (it's no mansion) a few years back. 

The D.A.: “The defendant’s repetitive failure to file returns and pay taxes over a period of several years contributes to the sweeping cutbacks and closures in local government and in our schools.”

Baldwin last caused a stir in these parts--heaven knows, not for good film role--for picketing a location selected for a possible sex video shop.  It never opened.
