Tommy Michael VanHoose missed sentencing after an October guilty plea on one false tax-return count, so Judge Brian Morris ordered his arrest October 8. A 2023 IRS raid of Montana shop Highwood Creek Outfitters seized ATF buyer records, which he blamed on targeting of a licensed Second Amendment advocate. David Bissell told the court October 14 that VanHoose still used doctored figures in a sale attempt after agents recorded unreported receipts and $442,254 unpaid.
