Charles J. Simone pleads guilty to running an illegal gambling operation

A second man has pleaded guilty in federal court to running an illegal gambling operation.

Prosecutors say 24-year-old Charles J. Simone of Liberty pleaded guilty Thursday to running an illegal gambling operation.

Simone’s guilty plea also comes with a hefty price tag; he’s forfeiting

$10,000 in profits to the government along with his laptop, which

federal agents confiscated last March.
