OKLAHOMA CITY – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging CHRISTINA ROCHELLE ANGLIN, of Burnsville, North Carolina, with six counts of failure to collect and pay over employment taxes, announced U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Downing.

According to the indictment, Anglin was the Controller and Chief Financial Officer for a group of companies owned by the Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, located in Wetumpka, Oklahoma.  In that role, Anglin was responsible for collecting and paying over to the IRS taxes withheld on behalf of the employees of Atmospheric Technology Services Company (ATSC), which was headquartered in Norman, Oklahoma.

If found guilty, Anglin faces up to five years in prison and up to three years of supervised release for each count.
