Wesley Snipes has been arrested and taken into custody by federal authorities.
The actor was arrested Friday morning after arriving at Orlando International Airport. Snipes said he was a scapegoat and unfairly targeted by prosecutors in connection with a federal tax fraud investigation.
Snipes had been shooting a movie in Namibia.
The White Men Can't Jump actor is accused of failing to pay nearly $12 million in taxes. Officials allege that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds in 1996 and 1997, and then failed to file returns between 1999 and 2006.[Source TMZ]
I guess white men can jump...they sure jumped on him the moment he landed.
