Prosecutor: Ex-NFL QB Art Schlichter Has Women Gamble for Him from Prison

Former NFL quarterback Art Schlichter, who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence stemming from an illegal sports ticket scheme, has apparently found a way to continue gambling while behind bars.

Schlichter has a history of gambling addiction and previously spent around 10 years in prison in Indiana for gambling-related crimes.

Per Dana Hunsinger Benbow of the Indianapolis Star, Franklin County prosecutor Ron O'Brien wrote in a federal filing that Schlichter hasn't fulfilled the terms of sentencing he originally received in 2012.

"He is a career criminal and he has stolen from people forever," O'Brien wrote.
