Wichita ? A former Cherokee County prosecutor who received perks and money from a Galena adult club in return for favorable legal treatment — including dismissal of a speeding ticket for the club’s manager — is to be sentenced on Monday for extortion.

Michael Goodrich, of Baxter Springs, pleaded guilty in June to a single count of extorting money and favors from Sensations Gentlemen’s Club from Jan. 1, 2005, to September 2007. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors agreed to dismiss one count each of extortion, wire fraud and intimidating a witness.

Prosecutors also agreed to recommend to U.S. District Judge Monti Belot that Goodrich get a sentence at the low end of federal sentencing guidelines.

Extortion carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Goodrich acknowledged in his plea deal that he received money and other perks from the owner and employees of Sensations. In return, he dismissed traffic tickets and other costs.

The value of the favors Goodrich received from January 2005 until September 2007 was estimated to be less than $5,000, prosecutors said.

“A public servant at any level who exploits his position for improper purposes undermines the people’s trust in their government,” U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren said in a news release after Goodrich’s guilty plea in June.

The intimidation charge stemmed from accusations that Goodrich attempted to influence answers that assistant Cherokee County Attorney Garth Adams was preparing to give to FBI agents investigating the case.

Goodrich’s co-defendant, Timothy Schooley, was sentenced in July to two months of home detention and one year’s probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Schooley pleaded guilty to a single count of blackmail.

Because the club had its business bank accounts in Missouri and bought its soft drink products from a Missouri company, Goodrich was charged under the federal Hobbs Act.
