An Allegany woman who sold untaxed cigarettes over the Internet to both individual smokers and restaurants in New Jersey has been sentenced to nine months in federal prison.
47-year-old Rita Roosa has also been ordered to compensate the state of New Jersey for lost tax revenue.
She sold at least $4.9 million worth of cigarettes, resulting in a $3.9 million tax revenue loss to the state. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic and trafficking in contraband cigarettes.
Roosa is not a member of the Seneca Nation of Indians.
