News Report: Judge's Son Said He Stole $1.5M in Casino Chips After Dad Docked His $1K Allowance
Accused of brazenly stealing $1.5 million in chips from a Las Vegas casino, the son of a local municipal judge, now 29, allegedly complained to an undercover officer that his dad had docked his $1,000-a-month allowance due to his betting and drug use.
Anthony Carleo also allegedly laughingly told the officer, when the man suggested ripping off the Bellagio casino, “I already did,” reports the Los Angeles Times.
Carleo wasn’t laughing today as he sat, stony-faced and shackled, in a court hearing, the newspaper recounts. He is being held at the county jail in lieu of $1 million bail following his February arrest.
