A Rapid City man convicted of Failure to Withhold, Properly Account for, and Pay Over Tax has received his punishment from a U.S. District Court judge.
72 year old Frank Morrison was sentenced to 13 months in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $200,000 fine, $684,927.56 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Morrison, while the owner of Thirsty’s Bar and Restaurant in Rapid City, failing to pay over taxes to the IRS after he withheld those taxes from his employees from 2008 through 2020. Morrison then used a large portion of those funds for his own personal use.
The investigation was conducted by IRS Criminal Investigation.
