80-Year-Old Indicted for Tax Evasion by Maury County Grand Jury

The Special Investigations Section of the Tennessee Department of Revenue led an investigation resulting in the indictment and arrest of Jackie Slone.

Revenue special agents arrested Slone, 80, on Tuesday, setting his bond at $10,000.

On June 28, 2024, the Maury County Grand Jury indicted Slone on two counts of tax evasion. These indictments allege that Slone provided false amounts on the registrations of two vehicles to the Maury County Clerk’s Office.

Revenue Commissioner David Gerregano emphasized the Department's commitment to ensuring that Tennessee’s tax laws are applied uniformly and fairly, preventing individuals engaged in fraudulent tax activities from gaining an unfair advantage over honest taxpayers.

If convicted, Slone could face a maximum sentence of two years in state prison and fines up to $3,000 for tax evasion.

The Department is working on this criminal case in cooperation with District Attorney Brent Cooper’s office. Citizens who suspect violations of Tennessee’s revenue laws are encouraged to report them via the toll-free tax fraud hotline at (800) FRAUDTX (372-8389).

The Department of Revenue administers state tax laws and motor vehicle title and registration laws, collecting taxes and fees associated with these laws. It collects approximately 87 percent of the state’s total revenue. During the 2023 fiscal year, the Department collected nearly $22 billion in state taxes and fees and more than $4.7 billion in taxes and fees for local governments. More information about the department can be found at www.tn.gov/revenue.

Saturday: Light a Fire on the Mountain - A Celtic Odyssey

When St. Patrick landed on the shores of pagan Ireland, there was one rule: only the satanic Druids could light a fire on a high mountain. To challenge them meant death. And so St. Patrick did the unthinkable: he scaled a higher mountain and lit a bonfire for Christ that all Ireland would remember. “Light A Fire On The Mountain” is a concert inspired by St. Patrick’s example, a Celtic celebration of Christian courage and colorful music. The show features fiery fiddling, soulful vocals and powerhouse ensembles in a presentation you don’t want to miss! This program is the Gala concert of the Annie Moses Summer Music Festival and features young artists from all over the US. You won't want to miss it!
