AG, REVENUE COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCE CONVICTION OF
SHELBY COUNTY DOCTOR FOR FAILING TO PAY INCOME TAXES
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Luther Strange announced the conviction today
of Dr. Aubrey Dennis Scott, a physician in Pelham, for failure to pay income taxes.
Scott, 52, pleaded guilty on September 4, 2013 in Shelby County Circuit Court to three
counts of Failure to Pay Income Taxes. He was sentenced to twelve months for each of the three
counts, which was suspended, and he was placed on probation for two years. Scott was also
ordered to pay a $25,000.00 fine and $17,336.68 in restitution to the Department of Revenue for
unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest. Scott was further ordered to serve 500 hours of community
service in the medical field.
The State’s evidence against Scott included records showing that Scott failed to pay
income taxes for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years.
“This conviction should serve as a reminder that failure to pay income taxes will not be
tolerated,” said Attorney General Strange. “Tax crimes will be thoroughly investigated,
prosecuted, and punished.”
“The Alabama Department of Revenue is committed to ferreting out such non-
compliance, and this conviction should send a clear message to others who may be considering
such practices. We remain vigilant in all of our efforts to ensure that Alabama’s tax laws are
followed,” said State Revenue Commissioner Julie P. Magee.
The Attorney General commended Deputy Attorney General Mike Duffy of the Attorney
General’s Special Prosecutions Division and Special Agent Efe’ Dangerfield of the Alabama
Department of Revenue’s Investigations Division.
