OLYMPIA, Wash. — A former Washington state auditor faces prison time over tax fraud.
The Northwest News Network reports Troy Kelley now faces a 366-day federal prison sentence after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition for review of his case.
That denial Monday represented the last avenue of appeal for Kelley who has been fighting his 2017 conviction for possession of stolen property, tax fraud and making false statements.
Kelley was accused of keeping millions in real estate fees that should have been refunded to escrow company customers.
The alleged crimes happened before he was elected auditor in 2012.
