Altoona, Pennsylvania - A man went from winning $2,500 in a casino to ending up in jail without ever leaving the building.
Mateen Johnson won the money from playing blackjack but things turned for the worst when he tried to cash out.
Detective Sargent Troy Johannides police were notified "When they swiped his ID [and] it came back that he had a warrant." Johnson was wanted by the Blair County Drug Task Force and the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation for his part in a cocaine ring which operated out of a bar.
Johnson said he was at the casino to raise money which he could use to make his bail after turning himself in to the authorities. It isn't enough however; a judge set his bail at $200,000.
