Method Man pleaded guilty to tax-evasion charges the other day, and wrote a check to square away his dept.

Hip-hop star Method Man pleaded guilty to a tax-evasion charge Monday, writing a check on the spot for the final $40,000 restitution payment after owing about $106,000.

I’m glad he cleaned that up cause Uncle Sam don’t play. This is one time that we saw a celebrity in trouble… but this time he did what he had to do to (for lack of a better term) square it away.

He was sentenced to a conditional discharge, which means the arrest will be purged from his record if he stays out of trouble.

“When he found out about the tax issue he hired someone and immediately corrected it,” defense attorney Peter Frankel said. “He took care of it quickly like the good member of our community he is.”
