Ryan Grant, the strip-club owner accused of hiring a hit man to kill Arlington mayor Robert Cluck and attorney Tom Brandt, was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday.
According to an FBI criminal complaint, Grant, of Kennedale, offered to pay $10,000 for each murder.
Grant, 34, was reportedly angry with Cluck and the attorney after he agreed to close his strip club, Flashdancer Cabaret, for one year in order to settle a nuisance lawsuit filed by the city and the Texas attorney general.
Grant sought to hire two Mexican hit men to kill Cluck and Brandt, according to affidavits. Court documents say that Grant went so far as to set up a meeting where he met with a man about the murder-for-hire plot and provided pictures of Cluck and Brandt.
