A former talk show host was sentenced Friday to four years in prison on a drug money laundering charge by a federal judge who chose not to impose the maximum 20-year term after receiving a "remarkable" number of letters of support from the community...
In his plea agreement, Floyd admitted assisting his son and Mabunda in drug trafficking at the property he owned in Doyle, Calif., about 20 miles north of Reno. The indictment said the three disguised the 260 acres known as the "Doyle ski lodge" by creating a lease agreement with the fictional "Earnest Green."
Dean Heller (newly elected congressman from Nevada CD-2) appeared weekly on Floyd’s radio show "Nevada Matters" 160 times and met with Floyd on numerous occasions. Dean and Eddie dined together on several occasions and Eddie Floyd’s wife, Shari Floyd, donated $4,200 to Dean Heller’s campaign.
Dean Heller discussing Eddie Floyd:
"Eddie and I actually go back a number of years,"
"My good friend,"
"I tell him I’m his good son,"
I wonder if one of those "remarkable" letters came from congressman Dean Heller?
