Welch pharmacist gets home confinement in gambling case
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Welch pharmacist who admitted skimming hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from his business to feed his gambling habit will spend a year on home confinement.
In April, Saad Kamil Deeb, 64, pleaded guilty to conducting illegal bank transactions in order to hide the amount of money he was moving around from the government.
U.S. District Judge David A. Faber sentenced Deeb to five years of probation on Monday, with the first year to be spent on home confinement. He also fined Deeb $20,000.
