Sports agent Anthony Quinn Welch pleaded guilty in Dallas to filing false tax information for four pro football players and pocketing the returns.
A news release from the U.S. Attorney’s office said the athletes gave Welch accurate information from 1989-1991, but the agent gave it inaccurately to the Internal Revenue Service.
Welch admitted guilt to all counts of a five-count indictment. He faces a possible 15 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines.
Welch filed returns for Bruce Alexander, Ray Crockett and Jason Phillips of the Detroit Lions and Wayne Walker of the San Diego Chargers.
