Atlanta Strip Clubs: Ex-soldier, arsonist back in federal court

Posted on February 6th, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs

Dyson spent most of those two years in prison charged with torching an Atlanta strip club and arranging a commando-style raid of a cocaine stash house that would turn soldiers into drug dealers.
“Their military careers ended honorably,” Dyson told U.S. District Judge Julie Carnes about his fallen brothers at his sentencing a year ago. “Ma’am, mine did not.”
Dyson had been booted out of the U.S. Army after disclosures that he was involved in some of the more unusual crimes in Atlanta history. Before setting the strip club ablaze, he’d tried infesting it with rats and roaches. He prepared to take down the stash house as if mounting an assault on a high-value military target.

For extra income, Dyson began moonlighting, working security for the Platinum 21 strip club on Piedmont Road. The manager, Boyd Smith, is a former Marine who served with Dyson in Japan.
