Former NHLer Tocchet Arrested In Bahamas

Rick Tocchet was arrested recently after arriving in the Bahamas with $18,752 in cash that he failed to declare to US Customs agents. That money was surrendered "to the Crown" meaning it was seized by the government.

He plead guilty to declaring false statements and was released.

You may remember the name Tocchet. He ran an illegal sports gambling ring out of New Jersey and was indited while serving as an assistant coach in Phoenix. He avoided jail time (2 years probation), but it appears he may still have a bit of a gambling problem. Just a hunch.
