GOLD IN THE SEWERS OF ST. LOUIS

April 25, 2006

A "prominent" St. Louis attorney has been laid low by tax charges:

Prominent local attorney Charles Polk Jr. pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court to one felony count of tax evasion and one felony count of interstate transportation of money over $5,000 obtained by fraud.

The U.S. attorney's office said Polk, 45, of the 3400 block of Tiverton Drive in St. Charles, admitted Monday to obtaining more than $45,000 by fraud from the St. Louis Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD).

Mr. Polk does seem to be something of a big shot in St. Louis. For example, he was in the "Leadership Circle" of the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association, and his wife is the COO of the St. Louis United Way.
