According to court documents, between 2014 and 2018, Urquiza concealed over $700,000 in income from the IRS. During this time, Urquiza owned and operated Lost Marsh Restaurant and RSR Demolition LLC, two businesses that received most of its revenue from contracts with the City of Hammond, the Hammond Port Authority, and other local government entities. In addition to issuing himself a salary, Urquiza spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on personal expenses from the proceeds of these businesses and from his family’s business, Meyer’s Castle, an event venue in Dyer, Indiana.
