CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The former owner of Drummy's Bar and
Grill in St. Albans has been sentenced to a year and a day in
prison for being a go-between in a gambling ring that stretched
from Welch to Dunbar.
Derrick Jay Drumheller of St. Albans pleaded guilty in August to
placing bets on behalf of Welch pharmacist Saad Kamil Deeb with a
bookie in Dunbar.
The 48-year-old Drumheller says he never made money from the
transactions, but Deeb would send him moonshine or buy him dinner.
U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver Jr. also ordered Drumheller
to pay a $10,000 fine on top of more than $69,000 in back taxes
he's already paid.
Deeb was placed on five years' probation in August, including
one year on home confinement.

If anyone believes that the Judge fell for Saad Deebs baloney, the Judge would believe any story. A known drug seller, both legal and illegal, also sending money over seas, only gets probation, what is the rest of the story. Why waste taxpayers $$$ on this? Why not get the ripoff stock brokers & banks that broke thousands of Americans from Wall street to Main Street.
People should know by now only the gov't is allowed to play the numbers.
Sounds to me that they should have taken Deeb's American citizenship from him and give Drummy community service. reward the foreigners and punish Americans. Something smells fishy.
