ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - March 25, 2009
U.S. attorneys in Ocala are asking a judge to restrict Snipes'
travel outside the United States because he attended a $20 million
party last November for the opening of the $1.5 billion Atlantis
Hotel resort.
A jury convicted the action star last year of three counts of
willfully failing to file his income taxes. He is free on bond
while he appeals the convictions and his three-year prison sentence
to the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta.
A federal judge last year said Snipes could only travel to
London and Bangkok for work on movies.
Snipes' attorney declined to comment.
