The founder of a Christian mission in North Charleston who stands accused of failing to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxable income could go to trial this week on state tax evasion charges after a two-year delay. Albert J. Salmon, founder of the Good Samaritan Mission, was indicted in June 2006 on 13 charges of income tax evasion and fraud. His trial had been put off, in part, because one of the prosecutors involved had been deployed to Iraq, and by the complicated nature of the investigation. Salmon, 61, founded the Christian mission more than 25 years ago on Cochise Street on the run-down southern end of North Charleston. In May 2003, city inspectors discovered homeless men living in subdivided trailers, a garage and outdoor storage shed. The case is on the docket at the Charleston County Courthouse but it is not guaranteed to be called. |
