Man arrested in sweep wanted on gambling charge
A New Castle man arrested during Friday's drug sweep was wanted on a bench
warrant for a gambling charge. Jeffrey Zona, 39, was picked up by police as
part of the city and state police drug sweep in New Castle. He was wanted on
a bench warrant on a gambling-related charge dating back to 2005. According
to information from the Lawrence County prothonotary's office, Zona had been
wanted on a bench warrant since Nov. 10, 2005, after he failed to show for
trial in October 2005, for the charge by state police involving the Vita
Nuova Club on East Washington Street. The bench warrant was rescinded Friday
by Lawrence County President Judge Dominick Motto, who instead reinstituted
a bond for Zona and released him on his own recognizance.
