Rowdy Beaver owner pleads guilty to $550,000 to $1.5 million federal tax theft

November 7. 2018
Charlea Estes-Jones

                   The owner of a former Cassville restaurant pled guilty to willful failure to collect and pay employment taxes totalling between $550,000 and $1.5 million of loss to the federal government last. Rodney Minner, of Arkansas, owned the Rowdy Beaver bar and restaurant in Cassville, as well as three other Rowdy Beaver restaurants, two in Eureka Springs, Ark., and one in Branson.
                   According to the federal indictment paperwork filed with the United States Court of the Western District of Arkansas, Minner was initially charged with 35 counts  of willfully failing to pay employee wage taxes to the Internal Revenue Service. In the plea agreement signed by Minner under legal advisement last week, the federal courts will drop 34 of those counts.
                   Under the plea agreement, Minner faces a maximum term of five years imprisonment, a maximum fine of $250,000, a term of supervised release after prison term is served, possibility of additional prison time if he violates supervised released conditions, a special assessment of $100,000 per count, and restitution.
                   According to the plea agreement, Minner admitted to collecting employees’ withholdings from their paychecks from April 2012 to April 2016 but did not pay them to the government. Minner also admitted  to not paying all of the federal income taxes owed for the four restaurants. Estimates of the total owed was between $550,000 and $1.5 million.
                   Minner will be sentenced based on his plea agreement at a later date. No date has been set for sentencing as of time of press.
