| Description | A Democratic state legislator who pleaded guilty Monday to two misdemeanor tax charges said he's eager to get back to work for his constituents.
Rep. Harold Mitchell, D-Spartanburg, must pay about $6,000 to avoid jail, according to the attorney general's office.
Mitchell, 45, pleaded guilty to not filing his 2007 and 2008 returns on time, after felony tax evasion charges were dismissed.
A one-year prison sentence was suspended to three years of probation, provided he pays $5,990 for taxes owed from 2005 through 2008, plus prosecutors' costs. Prosecutors say that while the plea involved two years, he must pay what was owed during all four. |
