En espaГ±ol | When Denise McKendry joined the Kroger shop in Midlothian, Va., on Feb. 25, the schoolteacher had been visibly distraught. She ended up being on her mobile phone, conversing with a guy that has identified himself as Officer Johnson through the IRS. He had explained, in threatening and quite often nasty terms, that McKendry owed $5,207 in straight straight back taxes and therefore she’d be arrested if she didn’t pay it back.
