Sports bookie homebound on probation

YOUNGSTOWN -- Convicted sports bookmaker Frank Daltorio, 42, of Boardman was sentenced Thursday in Cleveland federal court to three years' probation with the first six months to be spent on electronically monitored home confinement.
U.S. District Judge Paul R. Matia also fined Daltorio $15,000 and ordered that he participate in a program for the treatment of gambling addiction. The case, with multiple defendants, was linked by the government to LaVilla Sports Bar & amp; Grille in Struthers.
In an unrelated case, Daltorio will go to trial in August in Campbell Municipal Court. The charge is public gaming, a minor misdemeanor punishable by fine only.
At a pretrial earlier this month in municipal court, a felony gambling charge was dismissed based on a recommendation of Law Director Brian Macala and a misdemeanor charge of public gaming reduced to a minor misdemeanor, Daltorio's Boardman attorney, J. Gerald Ingram, has said.
Daltorio and five others were charged in January after Campbell police raided a dice game at the Devil's Den Sports Bar on 12th Street.
