A wave of investigators descended on comedian Carlos Mencia’s Encino mansion Thursday as officers moved methodically through the property, hauling out boxes, sealed cases, and bags of materials tied to a sweeping tax fraud investigation.
Photos from the scene show a heavy presence from the California Franchise Tax Board enforcement team, with officers posted across the driveway and front entrance as they carried evidence containers from inside the home to waiting vehicles.
Multiple images capture officers actively removing stacked banker-style boxes and hard cases from the residence, staging them outside the property in organized piles.
Black duffel bags and additional secured containers were also placed along the walkway as the search expanded deeper into the home.
In one photo, an officer exits the house holding a large locked case while another stands nearby as more materials are retrieved from inside.
Another image shows officers coordinating the flow of evidence from the mansion, passing boxes and equipment-style containers between the interior of the home and vehicles outside.
Several agents were positioned around the property to manage the ongoing removal of materials.
The dramatic scene is tied to a major criminal case announced by Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who has charged Mencia with 12 felony counts related to alleged tax evasion totaling approximately $8.7 million.

I seem to remember back in the day he had some fairly politically incorrect humor. Kind of like a Latino Dave Chappelle, and ended up getting grief from the usual virtue-signaling suspects.
If you don’t live in a state with a state income tax, you don’t have to worry about not paying it.
How you don’t have a CPA handling your monies and taxes with a business of just “you,” you are asking for trouble, especially in California.
I do my own taxes, but I don’t like doing them, at all. If you can’t get beyond your own disgust or lack of knowledge on it, get help.
