@thecrimedesk: Carlos Mencia was branded one of California's biggest tax scofflaws after the comedian was arrested at his Encino home over claims he failed to report a staggering $8.7million in income - leaving the state short more than $300,000. The 58-year-old Mind of Mencia star pleaded not guilty on Monday to 12 felony tax-related charges, days after armed agents descended on his mansion in a raid his lawyers later blasted as an 'absurd show of force.' #crime #carlosmencia
