United States Attorney Terrence Berg announced on Tuesday that Gary Heraud, 60, of Bloomfield, pleaded guilty to two counts of tax evasion.

Berg stated, "Our system depends on the voluntary compliance of citizens with our shared responsibility to pay taxes. Prosecution of individuals who intentionally and willfully file false tax returns is a vital element in maintaining public confidence in our tax system."

Each count of tax evasion carries a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000. Sentencing is set for September 22, 2009.
