A federal grand jury Thursday morning (July 20) handed up an indictment charging former Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Craig Taffaro with tax evasion and filing a false tax return, according to acting U.S. Attorney Duane Evans.

"The IRS has chosen to take a small civil tax dispute and turn it into a federal criminal tax prosecution for reasons known only to them. (Taffaro) is innocent of these charges and we fully expect he will be vindicated at trial," Taffaro's attorney, Michael Magner said in a written statement released Thursday.
