In his regular job, state Trooper Robert E. Covington Jr. enforced state gambling laws at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Plains Twp. In his spare time, Covington co-owned and operated the Sinners Swing strip club in Mayfield where he conspired with others to break the same laws and promote prostitution, according to a statewide grand jury presentment unveiled Thursday. Troopers charged Covington, 48, of Olyphant; his business partner in the strip club, David P. Klem, 39, of Archbald, a convicted drug dealer; Michael P. Ball, 49, of Dalton, Covingtonâs friend; and Deanna E. Tallo, 32, of Throop, a stripper at the club. State police suspended Covington, a 13-year force veteran whose trooper salary was $98,228, without pay. He was on unspecified restricted duty before that.
