Washington Native Arrested In Betting Scheme

A Washington native and a former Washington High School basketball player has been arrested in Las Vegas in connection with an illegal betting scheme involving Jontay Porter, a former Toronto Raptors player who admitted to manipulating his performance for gambling purposes and who was banned from the NBA. Authorities say 39-year-old Shane Hennen was arrested Sunday morning at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. They allege that Hennen received information about the scheme from conspirators who were in contact with Porter, distributed the tips to other gamblers and placed bets thru proxies.
