September 20, 2006 - John Neal, a former top Indiana state Teamster's chief, was arrested when cops discovered over $1 million dollars hidden in the wall of his home as part of an inquiry into a suspected gambling operation that he was managing.
His latest arrest comes about 2 years after he was released from federal prison. Back in 2000, Neal pleaded guilty to illegal gambling, tax evasion and money laundering. Despite serving hard time for his crimes, Neal was obviously not rehabilitated during his time behind bars.
The former Teamster's boss now faces felony charges of money laundering, illegal gambling, and corrupt business practices. Authorites confiscated millions of dollars in pure cash, and arrested several associates with whom he had relations and people who supposedly worked for him.
We're awaiting word on when he'll go before a judge and hear the official charges read against him. It has been widely speculated that he will not be granted bail, and that he could face up to 25 years in prison, if convicted.
