Ex-soldier sentenced for selling prison information

Former soldier Sandeo Pablo Dyson was sentenced Thursday to 18 months in prison aiding and abetting fellow inmates give false information to prosecutors, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Dyson, 48, while held in the Atlanta City Detention Center in 2009, obtained information about crimes and sold the information to another inmate for $20,000 so they could share it with prosecutors to get a reduced sentence. Dyson pleaded guilty to instructing his customer to tell prosecutors he knew the information firsthand and to not say he bought it from Dyson.
