Tax troubles for Stephen Baldwin

Actor Stephen Baldwin was charged Thursday with failing to pay New York State taxes for three years, amassing a $350,000 debt, The Associated Press reports. Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said Baldwin, of Upper Grandview, skipped his taxes in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The youngest of the four acting Baldwin brothers pleaded not guilty at an arraignment and was freed without bail. The district attorney said Baldwin could face up to 4 years in prison if convicted. The actor is due back in court on Feb. 5.
