Donald Trump pardons Casey Urlacher, brother of Bears great Brian Urlacher, in sports gambling case

In one of his final acts before leaving office on Wednesday, President Donald Trump pardoned Casey Urlacher, brother of Chicago Bears great Brian Urlacher.

Casey Urlacher, the mayor of the small suburban town of Mettawa, Illinois, was charged last year, along with several others, as a participant in an alleged sports gambling ring that could have led to federal prison time. Urlacher was accused of helping alleged ringleader Vincent “Uncle Mick” DelGiudice run an illegal multimillion dollar sports gambling ring while tracking down gabling debts. The ring involved up to 1,000 gamblers.
