Woman arrested over $1 in taxes

Recommended Posts

LOVELAND, Ohio -- An Ohio woman was arrested after she didn't pay just more than $1 that she owed in income taxes, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported.

 

Deborah Combs owed the city of Loveland $1.16 last year, but she also hadn't filed her city income tax forms in five years, the television station said.

 

She said officers pulled her over and acted as though she were a violent criminal.

 

"One sheriff approached my car with his hand on his gun," she said. "Another from the other side of the car leaned in and said, 'Are you Deborah Combs?' He said, 'We have a warrant for your arrest.' I was absolutely shocked."

 

Combs said she thinks the arrest and charges are over-the-top for the amount she owed.

 

"What they've spent in stamps is more than what I owe," she said.

 

She could also end up paying hundreds of dollars in fines for the unfiled tax forms, the television station reported.

 

Loveland City Manager Fred Enderle said the amount Combs owes isn't the real issue.

 

"Whether it's $1 they owe us or $1,000, it's not fair to the rest of the public to not pursue that person," he said. "There is some expense involved, but it goes back to the principle. We have laws. The laws have to be complied with. At what cost do you stop enforcing the law?"

 

Combs is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 20.

AMSTERDAM - A Dutch burglar phoned police after fleeing in panic when he found the corpse of an 89-year-old woman in a house he broke into in The Hague.

 

 

Police said they were still searching for the burglar who "got the fright of his life."

 

"He said he was the burglar and that he found a corpse," a police spokesman said. "He found the mortal remains in one of the rooms and left the home to call emergency number 112."

 

Police were investigating if anything was stolen and believed the woman may have been dead for some time.

If she was a minority, she wouldn't owe any taxes because that would mean she had a job.

 

Whether it's $1 they owe us or $1,000, it's not fair to the rest of the public to not pursue that person," he said. "There is some expense involved, but it goes back to the principle. We have laws. The laws have to be complied with. At what cost do you stop enforcing the law?"

 

And in other breaking news, Ohio is facing budget problems. I wonder why...

I'm really curious. How do you end up owing one dollar anyway? If you earn under $1000 dollars or so, you don't have to pay taxes, and you'd think that if you earned over that, you'd have to pay taxes at the proper rate. How could you possibly owe one dollar in taxes?
