Michelle Williams’ Father Arrested & Released on Bail

Brokeback Mountain starlet Michelle Williams is having a bit of family trouble.  Her father Larry Richard Williams was arrested on Saturday in Australia for allegedly failing to pay US taxes.  
 
Larry Williams was detained in Australia this weekend after US authorities issued a warrant for his return on charges of evading $1.5 million in income tax.  Mr. Williams is a celebrated share-trading guru who travels extensively claiming to reveal his stock market secrets.  I’m thinking his clients might want to avoid the secrets of evading income tax.  The star’s father is being accused of creating false documents and using several bank accounts to evade his large tax bill.

Williams, who arrived in Sydney via South Africa, was due to guest speak at a series of financial seminars across the country.  Ummm.  Isn’t this like Michael Jackson guest speaking for No Child Left Behind or Michelle Rodriguez presenting a speech on behalf of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers? 

Williams has been released on bail, been ordered to stay in Sydney, forced to surrender his passport & must report into the police three times a day.  Sounds like a prescription for trouble.  Williams is due to return to court on May 29.
