Food Company Executive In Billy Walters Case Sentenced

A former Dallas-based food company executive who admitted feeding inside information to an influential Las Vegas gambler linked to golfer Phil Mickelson is set to serve two years in prison.

A federal judge sentenced former Dean Foods chair Thomas Davis Thursday.

The judge acknowledged Davis was a pivotal cooperator who testified at trial against gambler William "Billy" Walters.

Mickelson had to repay $1 million in stock profits after receiving a tip from Walters but wasn't charged.
