A Gainesville man whose role in setting fire to an Atlanta strip club led to a sting that ensnared four other Dahlonega-based soldiers was sentenced this week in federal court.
Former Army medic Sandeo Pablo Dyson, 46, was sentenced to five years in prison for the Jan. 1, 2007 arson fire at Club Onyx.
Co-defendant Boyd Smith, 41, received a 5-year sentence and Howard “Bit” Thrower, 52, was sentenced to three years by U.S. District Judge Julie Carnes, said Patrick Crosby, a spokesman for Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia Sally Q. Yates.
Dyson was one of five soldiers stationed at Dahlonega’s Camp Frank D. Merrill who were arrested following an undercover investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobbacco, Firearms and Explosives.
