Troy, MI -- It would have gone better for Donald Bryant had he known the confidential informant who got him convicted of cocaine possession.

 

Bryant, 39, was charged in November with second-degree conspiracy and criminal solicitation, both felonies, for trying to set up the murder of the man he thought helped police convict him.

 

But a man in the county jail with Bryant, who told him he'd help him with the murder, was not only working with the police -- he was the original informant Bryant was after.

 

Jury selection in the case was to begin this morning when Bryant opted to plead guilty to a count of second-degree conspiracy. He will be sentenced May 30 to 8 to 16 years in prison which will run consecutively to the six years he is already serving on the cocaine conviction.

 

"He (confidential informant) told me he would take out the informant," Bryant told Judge Patrick McGrath during his plea. "I agreed with him and to give him the money for a gun."

 

Bryant arranged through his wife, Rebecca Dulaney, to get $600 to pay the informant for the gun.

 

Dulaney pleaded guilty April 12 to second-degree conspiracy and will be sentenced to 3 to 9 years in prison June 28.

 

Bryant was arrested March 9, 2006, and charged with felony cocaine and weapons possession. Police said more than 16 ounces of cocaine and a loaded .357-caliber Magnum were found in his home. Bryant posted bail, but was arrested again in June and again charged with cocaine possession. On Nov. 1, Bryant was sentenced to six years in prison in satisfaction of his plea on those drug and weapons counts.

 

The conspiracy was plotted while Bryant was in jail between Aug. 26 and Nov. 6, 2006.
