Atlanta Strip Clubs: Ex-soldier pleads guilty to snitch-for-hire scheme
Posted on November 29th, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs
On Tuesday, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit and standing before a federal judge, Dyson pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting another inmate make false statements to prosecutors. Prosecutors learned from some of the inmates that they did not tell the truth about how they got their information — that they had purchased it from Dyson — Assistant U.S. Attorney Shanya Dingle said.
In one instance, Dyson shared information to a fellow inmate who then got his relatives to make four $5,000 deposits into bank accounts controlled by other inmates or their relatives, who then transferred the money to Dyson, Dingle said.
Dyson, 48, who served four years in the Marine Corps and almost 14 years in the Army, is to be sentenced Feb. 9.
He first got into trouble with the law in 2006 when he was training Army Rangers during the daytime in Dahlonega and working security at night for the Platinum 21 strip club on Piedmont Road.
