Tim Siniard reports: Former congressional candidate Richard (Rick) Tyler Jr., who gained notoriety in 2016 for a campaign billboard that greeted vehicle drivers in Polk County with the phrase “Make America White Again,” was arrested and indicted for theft of property and tax evasion after an investigation by the Tennessee Department of Revenue.
Tyler, 63, is also the former owner of Whitewater Grill in Ocoee.
The investigation was conducted by the Special Investigations Section of the Tennessee Department of Revenue.
He was arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Monday after a Polk County grand jury indicted him on one count of theft of property between $10,000 and $60,000, and one count of tax evasion.
His bond was set at $30,000.
If convicted, Tyler could be sentenced to a maximum of six years in the state penitentiary and “fined up to $10,000 for theft of property and up to two years and fined $3,000 for tax evasion.”
