ALLENTOWN, Pa., Dec. 14 (UPI) -- An addiction to online poker has taken a bad turn for a wealthy 19-year-old Lehigh University sophomore, who faces charges of robbing a bank.
Greg Hogan faces a Jan. 31 preliminary hearing on felony charges of robbery, theft and receiving stolen property after admitting to the heist of $2,871 Friday at a Wachovia Branch bank in east Allentown, Pa.
He told investigators he did it to pay for a secret addiction to online poker and to pay down a $5,000 gambling debt, the Allentown Morning Call said.
Prior to his arrest, the son of a Baptist preacher and finance and accounting double major was president of his class, played second-chair cello in the university orchestra and worked at the chaplain's office.
Hogan's family posted $100,000 bond to free him from jail. His lawyer said Hogan's status at Lehigh University remains in question. University spokeswoman Dina Silver said the student judicial system will decide his future at the college.
His family can post a 6 figure bond but cant help him out with a 4 figure bond?!?!
