An inmate serving time in Cameron pleaded Guilty Monday to a tax refund fraud scheme.
45-year-old Kevin D. Dunham pleaded Guilty to preparing false tax returns for inmates while serving time at the Farmington Correctional Center in Farmington Missouri and at the Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron.
The charges stem from a federal indictment announced in February. Dunham obtained Social Security numbers and created false tax forms on a typewriter in his cell.
The forms were then sent to the IRS. Tax returns were sent back to the families of inmates.
Dunham filed false returns worth more than $139,000. He could face a fine up to $250,000 and a prison sentence up to five years.
He is currently serving a 10-year sentence for 2nd degree burglary and forgery.
