A California Highway Patrol officer has been arrested on charges of filing fraudulent state income tax returns, the California Franchise Tax Board said Tuesday.
Kinley L. Jong, 48, was originally charged in November with one felony count of possessing an assault weapon, which was found by special agents who were executing a search warrant on his home, the FTB said.
The FTB said it received information that Jong was allegedly depositing substantial amounts of cash into his bank accounts that exceeded the amount of income reported on his 2005 to 2007 state income tax returns.
Officials said he owes more than $26,400 in unpaid taxes to the state.
Jong was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail and was released on a $15,000 bail, according to the FTB.
He is expected in court on Wednesday.
