Wesley Snipes Goes to Jail

TMZ reports that Wesley Snipes has been taken into custody and will begin his 3-year sentence at a federal prison.

The 48-year-old actor is serving time for tax related crimes for which he was convicted of in 2008 on three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax returns according to FloridaToday.com.

CNN reports that the prosecutors argued that for almost a decade Snipes avoided paying income taxes - which resulted in over a million dollars.

The judge of the trial wrote:


"The Defendant Snipes had a fair trial; he has had a full, fair, and thorough review of his conviction and sentence by the Court of Appeals; and he has had a full, fair, and thorough review of his present claims, during all of which he has remained at liberty. The time has come for the judgment to be enforced."
