A Virginia Beach woman pleaded guilty to failing to pay payroll taxes from her three companies to the Internal Revenue Service, resulting in a loss of around $2.7 million to the IRS.
Wendy Brockenbrough, of Virginia Beach, pleaded guilty Tuesday to three felony counts of fraud stemming from her repeated failure to pay taxes deducted from her employees' paychecks. She is facing up to 15 years in prison along with substantial fines.
U.S. Attorney Jessica D. Aber says court documents show that from at least 2011 to 2019, 53-year-old Wendy Brockenbrough of Virginia Beach failed to pay over to the IRS payroll taxes from three companies she owned.
