July 22, 2015: Henry Prickett Jr., owner and operator of Just Ask Hal, a computer repair business in North Myrtle Beach, was arrested today on one count of operating a business without a valid retail license, according to the S.C. Department of Revenue.

In January 2015, the sales tax license for HDP Enterprises Inc, d/b/a Just Ask Hal, was revoked for failure to file sales tax returns and pay monies due.

After being advised of the penalties for operating a business without a retail license, the defendant continued to operate the business and make retail sales.
