Atlanta Strip Clubs: Gainesville man accused of selling information to inmates
Posted on January 7th, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs
At least four inmates purchased information “packages,” according to the indictment, for $5,000-$10,000 each. Buyers were housed at the Atlanta detention center and Robert A. Deyton Detention Facility in Lovejoy and told to use the information with prosecutors as a way to reduce sentences, officials said.
Payouts to Dyson totaled $50,000 and were paid to him through his buyers’ family members and friends who deposited funds into bank accounts belonging to cooperating inmates and associates, the indictment alleges.
Attempts to use the information were unsuccessful, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said, with no inmate securing a sentence reduction.
The charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000.
Dyson is currently in federal custody for his role in a Jan. 1, 2007, fire at Club Onyx, an Atlanta strip club. He pled guilty to charges related to the arson in April 2008.
