Assistant U.S. Attorney John J. Field, who is handling the
case, stated that according to the indictment, for calendar years 2013 through
2017, the defendant prepared and filed false tax returns with the Internal
Revenue Service. These returns falsely reported that Terwilliger had little or
no taxable income, even though in fact he had substantial taxable income of
approximately $125,000 in 2013, $190,000 in 2014, $201,000 in 2015, $185,000 in
2016, and $249,000 in 2017.
The defendant was arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge
Marian W. Payson. Terwilliger is
presently in custody serving an unrelated state sentence.
The indictment is the result of an investigation by the
Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, under the direction of
Jonathan D. Larsen, Special Agent-in-Charge, New York Field Office.
