A Pensacola evangelist who owns the defunct Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola was arrested Thursday on 58 federal charges, including failing to pay $473,818 in employee-related taxes and making threats against investigators.
Of the 58 charges, 44 were filed against Kent Hovind and his wife, Jo, for evading bank reporting requirements as they withdrew $430,500 from AmSouth Bank between July 20, 2001, and Aug. 9, 2002.
At the couple's first court appearance Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Miles Davis, Kent Hovind professed not to understand why he is being prosecuted. Some 20 supporters were in the courtroom.
"I still don't understand what I'm being charged for and who is charging me," he said.
[Article continues at link. Ken, if you need some money for legal expenses, there's one million dollars here and one million dollars here just waiting for you. I know that this modern world with it's "logic" and "cause and effect" is confusing, and you prefer the world of illiterate goat herders from two thousand years ago. So just set the rest of us straight, claim your two million dollars. Or maybe fess up to being a con-man and a boring one at that.]
