Method Man runs into the Tax Man

Hip-hop star turned actor Method Man is looking at four years in prison on charges that he failed to file a return or pay New York state income taxes between 2004 and 2007.

Method Man told The New York Daily News that the reason behind the oversight is simple: "Myself, I'm a pothead. It's no secret. Everyone knows that. I go on the road and forget everything else. Sure, [the tax department] sent letters to my house saying, 'We need this money.' They started sending them in 2002. . . "
