A former movie producer has been sentenced to prison for tax evasion. On Monday, authorities said a Utah man was sentenced to an aggregate of six years for tax evasion and forcibly retaking a home and land that had been seized under a court order to pay his outstanding tax debt.

Court documents alleged that Paul Kenneth Cromar owned a home in Cedar Hills, Utah and operated Blue Moon Productions LLC, a freelance film and media production company.

From 1999 through 2005, Cromar allegedly did not file any federal income tax return or pay any tax. The IRS conducted an audit and assessed him with $703,266.96 in taxes, interest, and penalties in 2005.

Authorities claimed Cromar did not make any payments and took steps to obstruct the IRS’s ability to collect his delinquent taxes. In 2019, a federal judge ordered that Cromar’s home be sold at auction to satisfy his tax obligations which had increased to more than $1 million.

It was alleged that Cromar tried to stop the sale by filing false documents on the property’s title and with the IRS. Cromar also allegedly tried to intimidate potential buyers and harassed IRS personnel by filing frivolous lawsuits against them personally.

Following the sale of the home, Cromer allegedly tried to break in and reclaim it. Authorities say Cromar had help from others when he broke in and unlawfully occupied the home for five months while fortifying it with firearms, sandbags, and wooden boards.

Cromar has also been ordered to serve three years of supervised release and pay approximately $723,028.65 in restitution.
