Michael Comer, former treasurer of the Glenmore Community Association, pled guilty this morning in U.S. District Court to one count of tax evasion and one count of mail fraud.
Comer, 46, confessed to embezzling funds from Glenmore Associates, PBK Real Estate, and Kessler Enterprises to make car and mortgage payments, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He also admitted to receiving $2.5 million in unreported income between 2003 and 2009, and owing $933,000 in unpaid taxes. The defendant agreed to make full restitution for all taxes due and owed.
Comer is to be sentenced on March 28, and faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the charge of mail fraud, and up to 5 years and $100,000 for tax evasion.
In April, Comer pled guilty in Albermarle County Circuit Court to four counts of embezzlement and one count of money laundering. He is currently serving an 18-month sentence, with four months served.
In July of last year, Comer caused a brief manhunt when he disappeared from his Wintergreen home while the Glenmore Community Association was undergoing an audit and over $465,000 was found missing.
