JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A former Jacksonville entertainment complex executive is changing his plea in a federal tax fraud case against him.
Brent Brown, the former CEO of Latitude 360 has pleaded guilty to one of 17 counts against him.
According to the plea agreement, by pleading guilty to one count the 16 other counts will be dismissed.
Brown faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Federal prosecutors say Brown willfully failed to pay payroll taxes to the IRS
The agreement says Brown has to pay the IRS nearly $4 million in restitution for taxes he did not pay from 2013 to 2015 at the Jacksonville, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and New York locations.
Latitude 360 was a family entertainment center with a game room and bowling alley.
Brown opened it in Jacksonville in 2014.
In 2016 it shut down due to being millions of dollars behind in rent.
The next year he was charged with theft of services.
In 2022 he was indicted on the federal tax fraud charges.
First Coast News reached to Brown's attorney, Hank Coxe, after business hours and is waiting to hear back.
