MONROE - Four more felony gambling charges were filed against a Monroe man Tuesday, Jan. 31, following a preliminary hearing in Green County Circuit Court late last week.
Werner J. Rast, 50, now faces 10 Class I felony charges of running a local gambling operation on college and professional sports from 2005 to 2007.
The additional charges stem from witness testimony heard in court on Friday that he took bets on basketball games in March of 2006 and 2007. The six original charges stem from football betting.
Rast was arrested Dec. 1 at his home following a long-term investigation by Monroe Police with the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation.
His arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 3.
