A former freeholder and Democratic party leader in Cumberland County has pleaded guilty to evading more than $250,000 in federal taxes over several years.
Douglas M. Long, 54, of Upper Deerfield, admitted the tax evasion via video conference before U.S. District Judge Noel L. Hillman, on the bench in Camden, according to a release from U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito.
Long was a managing partner of Long & Marmero LLP in Woodbury during the period in question, from 2012 through 2015, according to Carpenito. In 2017 he became ‘of counsel’ to the firm, which was renamed Grace, Marmero & Associates.
Long’s attorney, William J. Hughes Jr., said his client has been working with federal authorities “for a number of years” to resolve the case against him and is preparing to make full restitution.
