A Florida man has been ordered to spend three years in prison for hiding his ownership and more than $2 million in revenue from two now-closed skill games parlors in Stark County.
Larry Dayton pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Cleveland in July to defrauding the government. He was sentenced Tuesday by Judge Donald Nugent.
Dayton failed to report to the IRS more than $2 million in income from the gaming parlors.
From 2009 through 2018, Dayton and others owned and operated what prosecutors described as illegal gambling businesses, the Skilled Shamrock and Redemption in Plain Township, according to court documents and statements made in court.
