IRS not going to the dogs
I've heard plenty of ways to try to fend off the Internal Revenue Service, but this gambit is a pretty novel one.
According to our friends at City News Service, Lisa Hriczo Blechman, 46, of somewhere in the Santa Clarita Valley, wasn't happy when the IRS came knocking to serve a summons on her husband on Oct. 30. After the agent endured a hail of cursewords and left the summons taped to the door, Blechman dispatched her dogs, described as a Dalmatian and "an old, arthritic dog having surgery" to emphasize her displeasure.
On Monday, Blechman pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of assaulting a federal officer. She'll be back in court on March 31 to receive her sentence, which could be as much as a $100,000 fine and a year in jail. And she'll never hear "Who Let the Dogs Out?" the same way again.
