Coworker Got Arrested Over the Weekend...
...For failure to pay child support.
But that's NOT the whole story. He is married. Has four kids. He lives with his wife and kids. He doesn't have any other kids and has never been married before his current marriage. It seems that someone else (who owes massive child support) has been using his SSN on his own income tax returns. He had a meeting with the IRS a few months ago after they rejected his return where they accused him of tax fraud for listing his four children as dependents, because "they live with their mother" according to the IRS agent. Well this is true, but the mother lives with him. He took his wife and kids to the meeting with the IRS and was accused of "staging a ruse". They sent the local police arrest him (presumably after some paperwork and other bureaucratic nonsense). He was in and out of jail within an hour. The local police believe him. That doesn't solve his problem. Now he's worried about having his wages garnished as he is "in the system" as a deadbeat dad now.

Is it possible to sue the IRS?

It seems even the most cursory investigation by the IRS agent responsible would have revealed that your co-worker lives with his wife and kids. The laziness of this agent, his calling the local police, and the arrest are all inexcusable. It should, at a minimum, cost him his job. If this happened to me, I would not rest until it did.

He needs to double lawyer up. One to get him out of trouble, the other to sue the bastages

There was a similar story a few days ago. The guy was arrested and spent a little time in jail for failure to pay child support. His problem, was that they weren't his kids and he had never had any! I can't find the story, but I think the judge in that case cleared it all up.

A black man who failed to pay child support, for children that weren't his, spent a year in jail before they figured it out. Then he was on CNN. Man serves time for failure to pay child support I got your back Art.

If it says somewhere in the article, "... we bring you this story cause it's about a black dude, if he were white we'd just ignore it" I'll apologize to Art.

Well, you gotta admit, it's kinda freaky.
I believe Art was being sarcastic, and low and behold, the exact thing he was talking about ends up on the CNN web site! It's as if CNN is a parody of themselves.

Must admit if I'd known about the CNN story I may have "read" Art's post differently. So, how about those Mets?
