21 Arrested At Charity Poker Tournament

(KSDK) - 21 people were arrested Saturday evening at a charity poker tournament.

Illinois State Police say an anonymous complaint of gambling at The Prairies Golf Course in Cahokia led them to the poker game.

All 21 were charged, and one of them, Matthew A. Mueller, 37, of Cahokia, was charged with "Keeping a House of Gambling."

Police seized $4,500, along with poker chips.

Illinois State Police say the raid was conducted in partnership with Cahokia police and liquor authorities.
