Wanted for Tax Evasion
I am not sure where to start this story…
July 31:
I’ll just start it back when we got a US Postal Certified letter a couple of weeks ago. We ignored it thinking it was a debt collector of some kind and I was not going to waste my time and fuel to drive down to the post office to pick it up. Little did we know it was going to cost us a butt load of fucking money by not picking it up.
This morning after my wife left for work I was getting ready to leave when the door bell rang. It was a Summit County Sheriff’s Officer. He proceeds to tell me that he has warrants for my wife and mine’s arrest. Apparently, that certified letter was to show up in court regarding our un-payed taxes. Are you ready for this? The unpaid amount was $10.12. They sent the sheriff after us with warrants for ten fucking dollars! Are you fucking kidding me? Ten dollars! It was really for the missed court date but only because of the ten dollars. It’s not like my wife didn’t file for the city of Barberton taxes. She filed but something got messed up on the form and was off by $10.
The sheriff told us that we could just make an appointment for later today. We are apparently one of two hundred Barberton residents that they went after. The officer told us that he spoke with the judge and that if anyone gave him a hard time that he was to just serve the warrant and take them in. If they were nice, that they could just make an appointment to go downtown Barberton later that day. Which is what we did. This whole time, I am not believing my wife about the ten bucks. In my mind (of reasoning and common sense) there’s no way in hell the City of Barbertucky is going to issue warrants for our arrest for a measly ten dollars. We looked up our names in the Barberton city courts and we are now listed as CRIMINALS.

Here is our Warrant info:

So around noon we head downtown Barberton (were taking off of work to do this by the way) and had to be escorted in by the Summit County Sheriff Officer who served us the warrant. We did that and now were sitting in court waiting for the judge to return. Once court started, he called a few names and those people went ahead of us and then called my name. I approached the bench and he asked me if I knew what this was about. I said “I think so.”. He proceeded to tell me that we were only one of seventy people to take care of our taxes. He said all charges will be dropped if we just go to the financial office and pay the taxes that we owe (all that the judge knew was that we owed money he didn’t have the amount and I still don’t believe this is all over ten dollars).
We head over to the financial building and had to wait one hour since the only person that could pull our information was out at lunch. She finally comes back and pulls the information and says “Wow. Ten Dollars. Okay…” with a surprised expression on her face. So we pay it. $10.12 to be exact. I take the receipt and have to show it to the judge in order to drop the charges.
We end up doing that and when it was all said and done, our $10 tax turned into a $420 dollars that we owe now. $100 each for both my wife and I for court costs, $70 each for the issued warrants and some other minor court fee… Altogether it adds up to $420.00. Whats the moral of this story you ask? Go and pick up any fucking certified letters you get in the mail.
There should be a story in the Akron Beacon Journal this week sometime. They came out to our house and interviewed us and took pictures. I am not sure what they are going to say but should be interesting. When I find the article, I’ll post it as a reply here for all to read. Should be more or less about the warrants for our arrests for ten dollars.
- Trying to stick it to “THE MAN”: $10.12
- Warrants for our arrest and court fee’s: $420.00
- Having the city of Barberton bend us over and fuck us in the ass: PRICELESS.

I have new links for you if you want to read more about this. Check our Ohio.com for this story at: http://www.ohio.com/news/top_stories/26408699.html. You can read more on News Channel 5 at: http://www.newsnet5.com/news/17130384/detail.html. A co-worker actually posted the actual news paper article on his web site at: I don’t pay taxes!!.
The more I read or hear about this the more it just seems ludicrously ignorant on the part of Barberton City. If you owe Barberton taxes and they are not payed, I am betting there is a warrant with your name on it.

Dan,
After reading this and the newspaper article about your loss of revenue to pay the worthless city of Barberton $10.12, I lost my mind. It cost more to send a certified letter to your house than the fine you owed. Now if the worthless piece of shit mayor of the great city of Barberton had any sense, he’d spend more time cleaning up the crime in his streets and getting the roads fixed before winter comes again, instead of going after a family for a lousy $10.12.
Jesus Fucking Christ, has that city lost it’s fucking mind?
Seriously, move.
Move out of that fucking ridiculous city and go into Doylestown or something, at least they will teach your children more than interracial relationships and how to properly add up the weight of the cocaine that the little black kids sell at the Rolling Acres Mall or should I call it what we all call it…Strolling Afros Mall.
All those things are important for a city that only has one thing to it’s name. THE FRYING OF CHICKEN. Jesus Christ this pisses me off…and it’s horrible chicken too by the way.
Barbertucky…that is a perfect name. I’d say West By God Barbertucky, but I’d offend all the rednecks and hillfolk that live in West Virginia.
Seriously, this is the biggest fuck up of all time. Move your family out of that stupid communist city and go somewhere, where you and your children don’t have to worry about black on black crime on every fucking pot holed corner.
Oh yea….if the Mayor reads this, I have a perfect website for you to visit Sir. http://www.eatabagofdicks.com
Sincerly,
