Pace, Jr.<\/strong>, 29, got six years and nine months behind bars; \u00a0<strong>Brandon A. Terry,<\/strong> 29, received five years;\u00a0<strong>\u00a0Derel L. Henry<\/strong>, 39, was given three years and four months and<strong> Rosa Johnson<\/strong>, 26, received a sentence of a year, according to authorities. All the defendants are from Miami. U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore also ordered that some of the defendants to pay restitution:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terry was ordered to pay $19,674<\/li>\n<li>Henry will pay $24,489<\/li>\n<li>Pace and Johnson were jointly ordered to pay $62,683.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to court documents, Pace was employed as a correctional officer with the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department. From August 2012 to April 23, 2013, Pace, with the assistance of Johnson, filed 176 false and fraudulent tax returns using multiple stolen identities of former and current Miami-Dade County prisoners, among other stolen identities. A number of the tax returns list defendant Johnson as the preparer of the tax returns. The tax returns directed the IRS to deposit the tax refunds into accounts controlled by defendants Pace and Johnson at TD Bank and into an account controlled by Johnson at Bank of America. Court documents also state that from August 2012 to April 23, 2013, defendant Henry filed 48 false and fraudulent tax returns using multiple stolen identities. During this time, defendant Terry filed 38 fraudulent returns. On April 23, 2013 search warrants were executed on both Henry and Terry\u2019s apartments based, in part, on IP data demonstrating that multiple false tax returns had been filed from their apartments. A search of a computer found in Henry\u2019s apartment revealed data that contained names, dates of birth and social security numbers of 243 individuals. In Terry\u2019s apartment, agents saw a spreadsheet open on a computer screen, which spreadsheet, as well as other loose papers found in the apartment, contained personal identity information including names, dates of birth and social security numbers of hundreds of victims, at least some of which had been used to file false and fraudulent tax returns. According to court documents, both Henry and Terry gave statements at the time of the searches where they admitted that they had been filing false and fraudulent tax returns using stolen identities. \u00a0Henry admitted to obtaining the identities from his neighbor and co-defendant, Terry, who he claimed had taught him how to file false and fraudulent tax returns. Henry admitted that he had directed the IRS to put the tax refunds associated with these returns on debit cards that he had directed to be delivered to his apartment. Henry used the debit cards to obtain illicit tax proceeds through ATM withdrawals. Terry admitted that he had directed IRS to deposit the illicit tax refunds associated with these returns onto debit cards and into bank accounts provided to him by co-defendant Pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIAMI \u00a0&#8211; Four defendants were given prison sentences on Tuesday for filing fraudulent tax returns using multiple stolen
