(Spencer)– A Spencer businessman faces more legal problems after being arrested Thursday on numerous charges following a traffic stop. It happened shortly before 2:30 pm in the 700 block of Grand Avenue in Spencer.
Spencer police say 36-year-old Christopher Burg was served an arrest warrant charging him with seven counts of fraudulent sales practices over $10,000; three counts of fraudulent sales practices under $10,000; 10 counts of sales tax evasion, four counts of sales tax violation-permit revoked, and one count of ongoing criminal conduct.
Authorities say the arrest stems from a joint investigation by the Spencer Police Department, Iowa Department of Revenue, the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division and the Clay County Attorney’s Office.
Burg is being held in the Clay county jail on a $200,000 bond.
