U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill decided Tuesday to send a well-known deli owner to prison in order to “send a message” — that tax evasion is a serious crime with serious consequences.
Underhill sentenced Raymond George, owner of Ray and Mike’s Deli and Dairy in Hamden, to nine months behind bars, a $5,000 fine, and a year of supervised release for trying to keep over $200,000 in taxes from the government.
