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.

Ah! Now that bit is real justice.

Jo Hovind remains free on her own recognizance and is expected to
begin serving her prison sentence on Aug. 31.
