Meeting With Governor Triggers Bank Tax Showdown in Memphis
Memphis police recount a dramatic tax dispute when LaSaunders Hudson, 29, forced three IRS agents to strip in the street and held senior official Don Duncan hostage for eight hours to secure a meeting with Governor Winfield Dunn. Hudson demanded relief over a $167 back sales tax claim and cited perceived state neglect of Black citizens. The governor and Dunn aides described a brief, tense discussion about race and taxes, with Hudson later taken into custody and Duncan released after medical care.
