CaptainHook Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 PITTSBURGH -- New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress failed to pay part of his taxes, according to a collection agency. A district judge issued an arrest warrant for Burress on Thursday after he failed to appear at a delinquent tax claim hearing Wednesday. Burress, who played for the Steelers before signing with the Giants in March, could be arrested and fined $2,500 upon returning to Pennsylvania, said Coraopolis District Judge Mary Murray. Keystone Municipal Collections attorney Tom Kratzenberg said Burress owes taxes for 1998 through 2002. The 1 percent wage tax was to be split between Moon Township and the Moon Area School District. The amount of taxes was not specified. The Steelers paid Burress almost $15.2 million during his five years with the team, though he did not live in Moon Township the entire time. A woman who answered the phone at Burress' Pittsburgh home hung up without commenting and Burress' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined to comment. link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostFace Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Maybe his agent told him to "hold out" from court for a better deal on his taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
