Actor Wesley Snipes was arrested Friday morning as he arrived at Orlando International Airport, according to FOX affiliate WOFL.
Snipes, star of the "Blade" trilogy, "Jungle Fever" and "White Men Can't Jump," was indicted in October on eight counts of tax fraud. He was accused of trying to cheat the government out of nearly $12 million in false refund claims and not filing returns for six years.
The 44-year-old actor has said he is a scapegoat and was unfairly targeted by prosecutors, and has suggested he was taken advantage of.
Wonder if he'll get as severe a punishment as Martha Stewart.
