Strip club staff to be sentenced for rival’s fire
Associated Press – January 5, 2010 10:24 AM ET
ATLANTA (AP) – Three strip club staffers are scheduled to be sentenced for plotting a fire to burn down a rival club.
Prosecutors say Boyd Smith, Sandeo Dyson and Howard “Bit” Thrower were determined to shut down Club Onyx because it was hurting the bottom line of their club, Platinum 21.
The fire shut down Club Onyx for six months and caused $1.8 million in damages and lost sales, according to court testimony.
Dyson, the club’s security chief, and Thrower, an executive, pleaded guilty to the charges and testified against Smith. A federal jury convicted Smith of the charges in February after a 6-day trial.
The three face five to 20 years in custody.
