Former Pembroke Township Official Indicted

A federal grand jury returned an indictment (October 4, 2022) charging the former elected Township Supervisor of Pembroke Township in Kankakee County, Larry Dean Gibbs,  also known as Mulumbua Humraukn El Taikaem Bey, of St. Anne, with three counts of filing false income tax returns. 

The indictment alleges the 61-year-old Gibbs filed false income tax returns in 2017 for calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014. In those years, Gibbs filed a Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return in the name of Larry Dean Gibbs claiming that he had adjusted gross income of $10 million, that millions of dollars in federal income tax had been withheld by the Internal Revenue Service, and that he was entitled to refunds in excess of $2 million for each tax year, respectively. According to the indictment, the IRS did not withhold any federal income tax from Gibbs, and he was not entitled to the requested refunds.
