Like many crooked union office employees in recent years, Truong Nguyen had a gambling problem. His case comes with a unique twist: He was arrested at a casino. Nguyen, a firefighter/paramedic with the Norwell, Mass. fire department and treasurer of its union, Local 2700 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, on April 12 was taken into custody at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and charged with cleaning out the union bank account to the tune of more than $46,000. He was arraigned in Hingham (Mass.) District Court, where according to his attorney he regretted his "unfortunate infraction." He was held on $99,000 bail.
