The Broome District Attorney's office says 41 year old Anthony Capozzi of Binghamton plead guilty to 1 felony charge of promoting gambling.
He admitted to accepting 100 bets totaling $20-thousand dollars.
Capozzi was sentenced in Broome County Court today.
He will serve a 3 year conditional discharge and must pay a $5- thousand dollar fine.
It's a result of a year long illegal gambling investigation by the New York State police and State Inspector Generals office.
As of Friday morning, Capozzi had not resigned as Broome Republican Party Chairman.
