A Sartell couple is facing serious charges after being accused of filing fraudulent tax returns related to their real estate business. Authorities allege that 41-year-old Bobby Titus and 39-year-old Ashley Titus underreported income from property sales and failed to pay the appropriate taxes between 2017 and 2021. The criminal complaint states the couple made over $700,000 during those years, much of which was not reported to tax authorities, prompting an extensive investigation by the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
The charges include multiple felony counts of filing false or fraudulent tax returns, as well as failure to pay income taxes. Prosecutors claim the pair used their business, Titus Contracting, to facilitate the alleged deception. If convicted, the couple could face significant fines and prison time. The case highlights the importance of accurate financial disclosures in the real estate industry.
