[edit] Name

Was Burress named after Plexico Plantation in Kittredge, South Carolina? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.103.127 (talk) 03:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] removed NN factoid

I see nothing notable about the rescinded warrant noted below, so I removed it. Many verifiable facts that are reported as transient news don't merit inclusion in a biography.

[edit] Rescinded warrant for tax evasion

On June 2, 2005, a district magistrate in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania issued an arrest warrant for Burress after he failed to appear at a delinquent tax claim hearing. Officials in Moon Township, Pennsylvania alleged that Burress owed more than US$90,000 in back wage taxes to the municipality. The arrest warrant was later rescinded after the magistrate determined that although Burress lived in a house in Moon Township while playing for the Steelers, his legal residence remained in Florida and thus he was never subject to the municipality's wage tax.
