Crazy Cabbie aka Lee Mroszak gets jail time!!

NEW YORK (AP) _ Radio personality "Crazy Cabbie" will spend a year in
prison for tax evasion that was discovered by the IRS after he boasted
about it on the nationally syndicated "Howard Stern Show."
The WXRK-FM disc jockey, whose given name is Lee Mroszak, pleaded guilty
in December to not paying taxes for three years beginning in 2001. That
year he won $100,000 battling fellow Stern regular "Stuttering John"
Melendez in a five-round amateur boxing match that drew a sellout crowd
of more than 4,000 people to Atlantic City, N.J. at $100 a ticket.
Mroszak's crime was made more serious by his gloating about it to Stern
fans, U.S. District Judge Gleeson said Friday as he sentenced Mroszak to
a year behind bars. "Those folks are out there watching you, listening to you thumb your nose at the government," Gleeson said. Mroszak, 36, also must pay the taxes he
owes.Wearing a tan leather jacket that partially covered red, white and blue
neck and hand tattoos, Mroszak said outside federal court in Brooklyn
that he was ready to serve his sentence. "The judge was fair," he said. "I'm sorry that it happened and I have to
go take care of business now."

Some fans think that Cabbie will be released early for good behavior and that where he is going is more like a country club than a prison. Stay tuned.
