William "Butch" Dickson will spend nearly five years in federal prison for trying to take more than $9 million through bankruptcy fraud, the Associated Press reported on Friday. U.S. District Judge Tom Lee on Thursday sentenced Dickson, who formerly ran a mortgage company in Jackson, Miss., called Community Home Financial Services, to 57 months in prison. Dickson pleaded guilty in September to one count of concealing assets after a bankruptcy filing and one count of fraudulently removing such assets. He tried to ship more than $9 million from his company to Central America.
