Follow-up: Spicer terminated from job at ABC

Wednesday, January 4, 2017, former State Representative Terry Spicer (D-Elba) was terminated from his new job with the Alabama Beverage Control (ABC) Board of Directors.

State Senator Paul Bussman (R-Cullman) said on social media, “Today, the former state legislator convicted of taking $100,000 in bribes has been terminated as an employee of an Alabama ABC store by Gov Bentley. I appreciate Gov. Bentley’s swift action on this inappropriate hiring.”

Spicer, who pleaded guilty to taking bribes from a state lobbyist, was hired by the ABC board in December as a sales associate at a State liquor store. He was released from federal prison in October.

Former State Rep. Spicer, along with Dothan gambling mandate Ronald “Ronnie” Gilley and lobbyist Jarrod Massey, pleaded guilty for bribery-related offenses in the 2010 bingo conspiracy. US District Judge Myron H. Thompson of the Middle District of Alabama sentenced Spicer to 57 months in prison.
