Woman is doggone sorry for attack on IRS employee
A Santa Clarita Valley woman said nothing but “I’m sorry” as a federal judge in Los Angeles sentenced her today to two years probation for unleashing two dogs on an IRS employee.
See, you just can’t do this, no matter how much you hate paying your taxes.
According to City News Service, Lisa Blechman sicced a pit bull and another dog on IRS worker Ruth Seidman last year.
The IRS was auditing Blechman’s husband’s business at the time, and Seidman was trying to post a summons on Blechman’s house.
The dogs didn't actually run at Seidman, but they scared the rebate out of her.
In court papers, Blechman’s defense attorney argued that the dogs were harmless. The pit bull - this is no joke - suffered from a bad case of arthritis.
Whatever the case, Blechman pleaded guilty in January to assaulting a federal officer.
No word on how her husband fared with his audit.
