ST. LOUIS • The owner of a St. Louis daycare business pleaded guilty to one felony count of tax evasion Tuesday and admitted avoiding between $100,000 and $250,000 in taxes on money she’d taken from the company, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.
Gwendolyn Hampton, 38, of St. Louis, took $1.3 million on cash and cashier’s checks out from the business account between 2009 and 2013, prosecutors said.
