Wife sentenced in tax-evasion case
Alvin Peabody
Jo Hovind, the wife of creationist theme-park owner Kent Hovind, stood
solemnly beside her attorney as U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers
sentenced her to one year and one day in federal prison for evading
bank-reporting requirements.
Jo Hovind, 51, also was ordered Friday morning to pay $8,000 in fines
and spend three years on supervision when she is released from federal
prison.
Hovind was found guilty in November on 45 counts of evading
bank-reporting requirements. The same jury found her husband guilty on
58 federal counts, including failure to pay $845,000 in
employee-related taxes. He was sentenced in January to 10 years in
federal prison.
Rodgers also ordered the forfeiture of the Hovinds' properties,
including the property where Dinosaur Adventure Land, a theme park, is
located: 5800 N. Palafox St. in Pensacola.
Jo Hovind remains free on her own recognizance and is expected to
begin serving her prison sentence on Aug. 31.
