A former detective who made $354,000 in the “Cream Scheme” is facing sentencing in Federal Court on Monday.
George Striker, who was a detective for the Chattanooga Police Department from 1993 to 1999, faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000. But his guideline sentencing range is 18-24 months.
His attorney, Richard Lee Gaines of Knoxville, is asking that he get probation.
In the locally-based scheme, individuals were recruited to order creams that were billed to insurance companies at rates as high as $15,000 a jar. Striker’s family alone received prescriptions which billed for $1.8 million.
