Four men face charges of filing false documents with theIRSAugust 24, 2005By SARAH LEMONMail TribuneThree local men have been indicted on federal charges of filing falsedocuments with the Internal Revenue Service to harass governmentofficials.Kenneth Eugene Bozarth, 59, and 51-year-old Duane Harry Panter, both ofMedford, and Michael Peter Stemac, 56, of Trail, were indicted Tuesday,according to a prepared statement from the U.S. Department of Justice inPortland. A North Bend man, 69-year-old Varley Steve Fitch, also wascharged in the same case.The indictments allege the four men falsely reported under penalty ofperjury that government officials and others had engaged in suspiciouscurrency transactions in amounts ranging from $105,000 to $500 million.Intended to harass and retaliate against officials and other people withwhom they had disputes, the men’s false reports sparked an IRSinvestigation, according to the justice department."The whole purpose of this was just to get the IRS to look at this individual,"said William Fitzgerald, assistant U.S. attorney. "It’s harassment."In most cases, the men allegedly filled out a standard IRS form, stating thatthey received cash from individuals, Fitzgerald said. In other cases, thedefendants allegedly said they paid the named individuals, Fitzgerald said.Figures on all of the forms were fabricated, he said.The four men were arrested on Aug. 11. Panter, Stemac and Bozarth are setfor trial on Oct. 18 before U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken. Fitch is set for trialthe following day. They face up to three years in prison and a $250,000 finefor each conviction.
