ARLINGTON (CBSDFW.COM) - FBI agents raided the Kennedale home of Ryan Walker Grant and found 22 guns and more than 160 rounds of ammo, according to a search warrant.

Grant is accused of a murder-for-hire plot to kill Mayor Robert Cluck and a Dallas attorney.

Some of the weapons seized include, two 44-magnum handguns, five 45-caliber pistols and a Colt 454 Super Redhawk Alaskan, designed for defense against large and dangerous animals.

FBI Agents also seized two bullet proof vests and more than $145,000 in cash from Grant's home.

Grant is the owner of Flashdancer. The Arlington strip club was shut down for a year as part of a nuisance lawsuit. According to investigators, Grant feared that Mayor Cluck and the city wanted to close the business permanently.

Brandt is a Dallas attorney who works with the city on cases involving strip clubs.
