Former Steelers, Jets and Giants receiver Plaxico Burress has been indicted in New Jersey on charges that he failed to pay $47,903 in state income taxes, per NJ.com.

Burress filed his taxes for 2013, but the electronic funds transfer didn't go through successfully. A new state law in New Jersey makes the punishment for a failed transfer the same as for writing a bad check. 

Burress' indictment was issued on April 22 for a count of issuing a bad check or electronic funds transfer, and a count of willful failure to pay state tax. Both charges have a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $15,000 fine. No court date has been set.

Burress spent 20 months in prison on a weapons charge after a 2009 incident where he accidentally shot himself in the leg in a nightclub. He hasn't played in the NFL since 2012.
