| Description | FRACKVILLE — U.S. Rep. T. Timothy Holden, D-17, participated in the Super Bowl pool at Elks Lodge 1533.
"I belong to the Elks," Holden said Wednesday night. "I bought a block for $200. It's not illegal to buy a block on a Super Bowl pool. Many Americans do it and I've been part of a Super Bowl pool for as long as I can remember."
The Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement served warrants on Super Bowl Sunday at the lodge, 305-307 S. Third St., and at the 53 S. Balliet St. home of Frackville Mayor Delmar C. Phillips, who is the lodge secretary.
Agents said they seized football pools, four video slot machines and $35,412 cash in the action that was carried out shortly after noon.
State Police Sgt. Donald B. Fernbach reportedly said the confiscated items are part of a continuing investigation.
Holden said he was not aware the raid took place when he arrived at the Frackville lodge around 4 p.m. Sunday.
"I was all set to root for the Steelers and have a good time," Holden said. |
