A man has denied allegations that he evaded sales tax on a sport utility vehicle he bought in Nebraska.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Mark Pieloch pleaded not guilty to a charge of failure to pay sales tax.

A judge earlier ruled against Pieloch’s motion to have the felony charge dismissed.

Court records say Pieloch failed to pay $2,900 in taxes in Nebraska on a 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche he bought in Lincoln.

He says he paid sales tax on the truck in South Dakota. But prosecutors say he should have paid the tax in Lincoln, where he has his primary residence.
