Tonkovich Denies Charges In Casino Extortion Case

Former West Virginia Senate President Dan Tonkovich denied federal extortion charges tied to a 1986 casino gambling bill effort. He faced three counts of demanding $15,000 plus $5,000 per count from WVCC Inc and a fourth count for attempting $5,000 from Resorts International. Tonkovich vowed to defend himself at a June 22 arraignment, insisting he never extorted money and aimed to oppose the casino bill while possibly pursuing a constitutional amendment. He contended a contract with his staffer was for business reasons and denied any illegal motive.
