Wesley Snipes Arrested!
The "White Men Can't Jump" star has been taken into custody by federal authorities after arriving at Orlando International Aiport on Friday. The actor says he was a scapegoat for a federal tax fraud investigation and that he was unfairly targeted by the prosecutors.
The arrest happens 2 months after the arrest warrant on his name was issued. He was returning from Namibia where he was shooting a new movie.
"Officials allege that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds in 1996 and 1997, and then failed to file returns between 1999 and 2006. "

Anyone remember the Blade series? He used to be my favorite actor back then, I just hadn't seen him in any movies since the 2004 Blade: Trinity
Oh yeah, he stars in the "Inside Man", I've yet to see that! - can't believe I missed it in the cinema.
Hopefully he'll get out of this as I don't see him as the type of man who would do this.. but then again, it is all about MONEY in some people's lives.
