After 11 years in Las Vegas, the World Poker Tour Championship is taking place in Atlantic City this week. Global Gaming Business Magazine Publisher Roger Gros calls this a major win for online gaming in New Jersey. Jersey, despite falling well short of expectations since it started in November.

Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Pa. say theyâ€™ve taken down an intricate drug distribution network that targeted students at high schools and colleges throughout the Main Line and was being run by two graduates of a prestigious private school. Prosecutors say the criminal enterprise was known as the "Main Line Takeover Project," and they say the ringleaders had eyes on becoming the major marijuana distributors in the area. According to officials, 25-year-old Neil Scott and 18-year-old Timothy Brooks were running the operation and grooming others to help distribute their product at high schools and colleges. The schools were Harriton, Lower Merion, Radnor, and Conestoga High Schools, the Haverford School, and Gettysburg, Lafayette, and Haverford Colleges. Scott and Brooks were graduates of the Haverford School. In all, eleven people have been charged.

The Camden County Prosecutorâ€™s Office is warning women in the Broadway area of South Camden to be on alert after a womanâ€™s body was found there over the weekend. Authorities say they were called to South 5th Street, near Walnut Street around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday on the report of a body. Once there, 31-year-old Stephanie Luttrell of Burlington Township was found dead. An autopsy performed Sunday ruled that the cause of death was strangulation, and the manner of death was a homicide.
