OCALA, Florida (Reuters) - Actor Wesley Snipes, star of the “Blade” movie series, was found guilty of three misdemeanors by a U.S. court on Friday for failing to file tax returns for three years.

The actor and two co-defendants had been charged with six counts of failing to file tax returns, two of fraudulently claiming tax refunds and one count of conspiracy to defraud the government.

Snipes could still face up to three years in prison, according to prosecutors.
