Texas Club Owner Gets 10 Years in Failed Plot to Kill Mayor

Posted: Jan 22, 2013 12:11 PM by Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - The owner of a North Texas topless club has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for trying to orchestrate a plot to kill Arlington's mayor and an attorney.

Ryan Walker Grant received the sentence Tuesday in Fort Worth. He pleaded guilty in September to a murder-for-hire charge stemming from a failed 2012 plot to hire a hit man to kill Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck and lawyer Tom Brandt, who does work for the city.

Grant's club, Flashdancer Cabaret, was one of Arlington's most visible adult businesses. Grant, at the time of the failed plot, was in a dispute with officials who cracked down on such enterprises as the city seeks to bolster its reputation as a tourist destination.
