Former State Teamsters Boss Arrested on Gambling Charges
A former state teamsters boss has been arrested after authorities found more than $1 million stashed in the wall of his home as part of an investigation into a video gambling operation. John Neal was arrested during a traffic stop near his Daleville-area home. He's facing felony charges of professional gambling, promoting professional gambling, money laundering and corrupt business influence. Police also seized millions in cash, arrested almost 30 business associates and raided 23 bars and two businesses in Delaware and Madison Counties believed to have supported illegal gambling. The arrest came about a year and a half after Neal was released from federal prison. In 2000, he pleaded guilty to illegal gambling, tax evasion and money laundering.
