Plaxico Burress Figuratively Shoots Himself In the Foot Over Taxes

More trouble for ex-NFL star Plaxico Burress is on the way.
The first-round pick from the 2000 draft has been indicted in New Jersey for allegedly failing to pay close to $50,000 in state taxes; he could face serious prison time.
Prosecutors say Burress initially tried to file his state income return for 2013 back in October -- showing he owed $48,000 -- but the electronic funds transfer failed.
Officials say they notified Burress and the person who did his taxes multiple times -- but they never remedied the situation.
As a result Burress was charged with 1 count of willful failure to pay a state tax and 1 count of issuing a bad check or electronic funds transfer, crimes punishable up to 5 years in prison each.
The former wide receiver is no stranger to the law, he did two years on a weapons charge after shooting himself in the leg at a Manhattan nightclub
