Owners of “Fun 4 Kids Entertainment” Federally Sentenced for Contempt of Court

Martin C. Carlson, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, announced that Tammy Beecher, age 37, and Wyatt Beecher, age 29, both of Hellam, Pennsylvania, were each sentenced Wednesday by United States Magistrate Judge J. Andrew Smyser to a 15-day prison sentence for contempt of court.

According to U.S. Attorney Carlson, husband and wife, Wyatt and Tammy Beecher filed a petition for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in May 2007. During the course of this filing, both Wyatt and Tammy Beecher signed under penalty of perjury that Tammy Beecher had no income, and they had listed that they were not involved in any businesses within the last six years. During their meetings with the appointed Trustee, the Beecher’s did not disclose their family business, “Fun 4 Kids Entertainment.” Only after the Beecher’s were presented with a coupon for $5 off any party, and reminded they signed the bankruptcy petition under penalty of perjury, did the Beecher’s admit that the business has operated on-and-off for the past three years.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Eric Pfisterer.
