Danton Sentenced To 7 1/2 Years

Former St. Louis Blues center Mike Danton was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in federal prison yesterday for masterminding a plot to have his agent, David Frost killed. Danton pleaded guilty to the charge in July. Danton’s plan was intercepted and a sting was set up, which led to his arrest and the arrest of 19-year old Katie Wolfmeyer. She was acquitted of all charges in September. Wolfmeyer contacted a third party who was supposed to help carry out the hit, but Wolfmeyer says she had no idea she was setting her acquaintance up with Danton to conspire in a murder plot. Danton will likely ask to have his time served in a Canadian prison.
