Georgia man convicted in Pennsylvania conspiracy, extortion
ELLENWOOD, Ga. – An Ellenwood man has learned his sentence for his alleged role in an extortion scheme in Pennsylvania.
Richard W. Long, 50, allegedly helped a group of individuals who used cell phones while at a Georgia prison to falsely present themselves as sheriff’s deputies with arrest warrants.
The co-conspirators would convince the victims that, in order to avoid arrest, they would need to pay cash bonds by meeting Long in a parking lot in Pittsburgh.
Three victims paid a total of approximately $39,750, according to the court.
The judge sentenced Long to two years in prison for conspiring and traveling interstate to commit extortion.
It’s not clear how many co-conspirators were involved, how they have been charged or whether the victims will get their money back.

Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
