Nashville man indicted for felony tax evasion in Sumner County

An investigation by the state Department of Revenue’s Special Investigations Section led to the indictment and surrender of John C. Tune, 44, of Nashville, Tennessee on tax evasion and theft charges.

A Sumner County grand jury indicted Tune last week on 32 felony counts for allegedly failing to file sales tax returns totaling $132,948.70 from November 2006 to June 2009 in connection to Jersey Mike’s Subs in Hendersonville, according to a release from the revenue department.

The indictment also charged Tune with a Felony count of theft of property over $60,000. He surrendered Wednesday to officers with the Sumner County Sheriff's Department.

If convicted, Tune faces a sentence of up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $3,000 for each count of attempted sales tax evasion.

On the theft charge, he faces a maximum of 12 years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.
