Fort Smith, Arkansas – Conner Eldridge, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, announced today that the office has filed forfeiture and collection actions in United States District Court on 27 properties relating to the conviction of Tony Alamo, also known as Bernie Lazar Hoffman. Alamo was originally sentenced on November 13, 2009, to life in prison for transporting minors with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. On January 15, 2010, he was ordered to pay $500,000 in restitution for each of the five victims, a total of $2.5 million. As of May 8, 2013, Alamo has not made any restitution payments.
