Tuesday, in the 54A District Court in Lansing, Ronald Bartell, 44, of Detroit, and business entity Kuzzo’s LLC, were arraigned on felony charges for allegedly violating Michigan tax law, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Bartell established Kuzzo’s LLC as the business entity through which he operated Kuzzo’s Chicken and Waffles in Detroit from 2015 to 2026. The charges, filed against the business entity and owner Bartell, concern alleged violations of state sales tax law.
Bartell and Kuzzo’s LLC are each charged with five counts of Taxes – Failure to File/False Return/Payment, a 5-year felony.
“Michigan businesses are expected to properly collect, report, and remit the sales tax they collect to the state Department of Treasury,” said Nessel. “Sales tax revenue provides essential funding to our public schools and local governments. Businesses that cheat will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
Bartell and Kuzzo’s LLC are next scheduled to appear before the 54A District Court in Lansing. The next appearance date has not yet been set.
