LUMBERTON — A local physician has been charged with not filing a tax return for three years, according to a statement by the N.C. Department of Revenue.

Larry Adam Hearne, 62, of 202 Edinborough Drive, was charged Wednesday with failure to file a North Carolina individual income tax return from 2008 through 2010.

His bond was set at $6,000 and he was scheduled to appear in Wake County District Court on Feb. 21.

Hearne, an obstetrician and gynecologist, works at the Women’s Life Center of Lumberton and has been a member of the staff at Southeastern Regional Medical Center since 1991. The hospital did not wish to make a statement.

The charges followed an investigation by a special agent with the department’s Criminal Investigations Section.

Dr. Hearne is by far one of the best physicians I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. I could care less about his taxes, people should be ashamed of themselves. Dr. Hearne will always get my support regardless of what he chooses to pay or not pay..

Dr. Hearne is a wonderful Dr. There are lots of other people that have not filed in more than 3 years. Try making a obstacle of them. Or did you not have anything better to write about. Rape, child molesters, BULLYING OF CHILDREN, CHILD ABUSE! DOG FIGHTING AND ABUSING? Even the skeletons in YOUR closet, everybody has some. I respect Dr Hearne much more for what he does than you for what you do or try to do

Why is this information in the newspaper? I don't know this doctor but to put this in the paper is over the top. I guess negative sells right? Pitiful.

Well, publishing questionable news gives brain dead blow hards like RumpRangerSgt, PercyCute-shon, and RossIsWrong something to do with their hands. It also allows them equal opportunity to clearly display their bigotry, homophobia, and ignorance. I thinks it's darling. They're like puppies.

Dr. Hearne is a good doctor, and if anything, this just makes me respect him even more. Taxing income is criminal. I favor everyone keeping all the money they've worked to earn in their own pockets. If the state ditches income taxes, then none of us will have to waste our time with reporting our private information to the state to make sure us serfs have allowed our masters to take enough.

We are trying to provide care for people. We should not have to pay taxes on the income medical professionals earn. Remember we're helping save lives.

What will happen as our taxes increase due to Obama care, you, the patient will pay thru increases in our prices. We are just the middle man. The government taxes what we do, and we pass it along to the customer to pay... Get ready.

Ross has finally shown his hypocrisy...everyday its "everyone should pay their fair share" and then I read him say medical professionals shouldnt pay taxes because they "save" lives...so what about cops, firefighters, military personal, drug manufacturers, companys who build medical devices, etc...what about the school crossing guard, they protect your kids...so who should pay taxes Ross? All the arguments against entitlements yet Ross wants to be "entitled" to free roads, schools, etc by not paying taxes...It doesnt matter how "good" a person is, if you break the law you should face punishment...

orighawk: You slipped. I have never, repeat, I HAVE NEVER said anyone should have to pay taxes. I don't believe in taxes, don't want taxes, and think taxes are illegal.

But why should high income earners have to pay 39% of their income plus 11% to NC state? That comes to 50%... So if a physician EARNS 500 thousand a year, guess what, 250 thousand goes to the government and some low-life gets a tax-refund even though they didn't pay a darn dime in. Guess where that refund comes from? Pathetic.

The next time you get sick, go ask a low-life loser to make you well, we'll do just fine without you.

@ross then you should have placed your arguments towards ALL taxes, not just breaks for physicians...if we break down society then a garbage man is as important as a physician (although with less education)...Im in agreement with most of your views on here but felt you were advocating breaks for specific groups which is what youve been arguing against (seemingly)...and I dont go to the doctor when I am sick, proper rest and diet keeps me from having to waste caregivers time when there are people who really need the medical help...

Orighawk: That last paragraph was not meant toward you. It was a general statement.

But, the government overtaxes high income earners. It's a form of punishment. Then they reward the low income un-educated losers of society with no taxes. I say tax the poor at a higher amount than the high income makers and maybe, just maybe that would intice those bums to get off the floor of income and do something.

The lower your income the higher you pay in taxes... Now that's fair.
