Ex-DEA agent gets 1 year of probation for strip club lie
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A former high-ranking federal drug agent has been sentenced to one year of probation for concealing his double-life as a strip club investor and manager.
David Polos apologized and wept before hearing his punishment on Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan. His lawyer described him as a "broken man."
The 52-year-old Polos was convicted at a trial last year on charges he lied on national security forms that asked about outside employment that might put him "in proximity to crime" and at risk for getting blackmailed.
