LV man guilty of filing false tax returns

GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- A Las Vegas man accused of filing bogus returns for other inmates while he was imprisoned at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Shelby has pleaded guilty to the crime in federal court in Helena.

Gary Radi was charged with filing false claims for federal income tax refunds. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 26.

Court records said Radi offered to file tax returns for fellow inmates at the facility while he was imprisoned there in 2004 and 2005. Documents said Radi put false information on the returns, lying about how much money the prisoners made and claiming refunds.
