OCALA,
Fla. — Actor Wesley Snipes must reimburse the government in prosecution
costs for his tax conviction.
According
to court documents, U.S. District Court Judge William Terrell Hodges
ruled last week the action film star must reimburse the government
about $217,000. Snipes, star of the "Blade" trilogy and
"White Men Can't Jump" among other movies, had objected
to the cost.
A
message left with Snipes' attorney was not immediately returned
Tuesday.
A
jury convicted Snipes in February of three counts of willfully failing
to file his income taxes. He has appealed the convictions and his
three-year prison sentence.
