Method Man arrested for tax evasion

The former Montclair State University attendee (not graduate) & Rapper (and actor?), Method Man was arrested this morning on charges of Tax Evasion. Clifford Smith (real name) is currently living in Staten Island. This isn't the first time the Grammy winning rapper has been in trouble with the law. Back in 2007, Method Man was arrested on charges of Marijuana when he was pulled over by police officers just before entering the Battery Tunnel, where a cloud of smoke apparently burst out of the window when he opened it for the policemen. More info on his tax evasion charges below.

Smith surrendered himself to the NYPD Detective Squad of the Richmond County District Attorney’s Office this morning, District Attorney Danield Donovan, Jr. and New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Acting Commissioner Jamie Woodward announced.

The 38-year-old rapper, who is a member of the platinum-selling rap group Wu-Tang Clan, is alleged to have failed to pay $32,799.00 in personal income tax for the years 2004 through 2007, not including additional accrued interest and penalties. [BNONews]
