"OAKLAND A man who police say serves as a manager at one of Oakland's several illegal casinos has been charged with leading officers on a chase through the city as they were investigating his possible involvement in a shooting related to the gambling underworld, court records show. An Dao, 44, was charged with felony counts of evading police and being a 14-time felon in possession of body armor, court records show."
"He is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, with bail set at $350,000. The jail log lists Dao's profession as a landscaper, but authorities say they've identified him as the manager of a gambling shack on the 1300 block of East 15th Street which was raided on Sept. 17. Three days earlier, a gambling den just two streets over was shot up, allegedly by someone in a BMW that police believe belonged to Dao."
