Actor Wesley Snipes Surrenders to IRS at Orlando International: Faces Tax Evasion Charges

"Blade" actor Wesley Snipes surrendered to agents of the Internal Revenue Service this morning as he re-entered the U.S. through Orlando International Airport. He had been in Africa filming a new movie when a warrant was issued for his arrest. Two months of negotiations lead to a deal where he would turn himself in.

His accountant is on trial right now for tax fraud in Philadelphia.

Snipes plead not guilty to all the charges and posted bond. He will be allowed to return to Africa to finish filming on the movie before returning January 10th for another hearing.

It should be interesting to see how this develops.
