Brothers face tax-evasion penalty

Sentencing will take place April 20 for two Dracut brothers convicted of tax evasion last week by a federal jury. Paul Brown and Raymond Brown, both 45, are the former owners of J.P. Brown & Sons, an excavation business they ran from 1996 to 2006. Over a four-year period, the brothers did not pay taxes on $2 million worth of earnings, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Each was charged with one count of conspiracy to impair, impede, and obstruct the IRS’s efforts to collect income taxes, and one count of tax evasion. They now face up to 10 years in prison and a possible $350,000 fine. - Karen Sackowitz
