A former partner in a Willows law firm has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of tax fraud and evasion.The indictment alleges that Orion Douglas Memmott, 68, submitted false financial statements to the IRS in June 2005. The statements were reportedly in connection with Memmott's attempt to lower his federal tax liability, plus penalties and interest, for the years 1993 through 1999.
The liability was calculated at $656,655.In submitting the statements, Memmott allegedly omitted real property valued at $260,000, and business banking accounts he owned and controlled containing $112,772.He also reportedly failed to report income from diverted investor funds of $116,570.The indictment also alleges that, between 1995 and 2006, Memmott willfully attempted to evade payment of a large part of his federal income tax liability by placing property in the names of others.
If convicted on all charges, Memmott could face several years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000.Several Willows residents recall that Memmott specialized in tax and probate law. He moved from Willows approximately 10 years ago.
