The owner of Fannin Mart Restaurant pleaded guilty to two of eight counts of tax evasion in Rankin County Circuit Court.
A judge on Monday sentenced Steve Page, the owner of the popular restaurant on Mississippi 25 in Flowood, to five years in prison with two years suspended, and three years house arrest.
Page was indicted in October of last year on eight counts of felony tax evasion and eight counts of fraudulent statements and representations.
Page reported to have sold only $10,800 in the average month during that period, when in reality the restaurant actually sold an average of $35,720 per month.
