The Utah man was sentenced on Monday, December 23, 2024, to 6 years in prison for tax evasion and forcibly retaking a house and land that had been seized under court order to pay his outstanding tax debt. Cromar, formerly of Cedar Hills, Utah, owned a home in Cedar Hills and operated Blue Moon Productions LLC, a freelance film and media production company. From 1999 through 2005, Cromar did not file any federal income tax returns or pay any tax. In 2005, the IRS conducted an audit and assessed him with more than 700 thousand dollars in taxes, interest and penalties. For more than a decade thereafter, Cromar did not make any payments towards his outstanding debt and took steps to obstruct the IRS’s ability to collect his delinquent taxes. In 2019, a federal judge ordered that Cromar’s home be sold at auction to satisfy his tax obligations, which by then had ballooned to over 1 million dollars owed. Cromar then attempted to stop the sale by filing false documents on the property’s title and with the IRS, including a false promissory note. He also attempted to intimidate potential purchasers of the home and harassed IRS personnel by filing frivolous lawsuits against them personally. Shortly before the sale closed, Cromar broke into the home and attempted to reclaim it. With the help of others, he occupied the home unlawfully for five months, fortifying it with firearms, sandbags and wooden boards tactically placed throughout the house. According to the Utah County Sheriff's Office, Paul Kenneth and Barbara Ann Cromar were evicted the home they formerly owned in Cedar Hills and arrested on felony charges. A third person, Tyson Neil Holyoak, was arrested for trying to illegally enter this same home. Ultimately, the FBI assisted in locating and apprehending Cromar, who had been a fugitive from justice in a related Utah state court criminal matter since August 2022.
