A McAllen assistant principal was charged with running an illegal poker den out of his Mission home.

An attorney representing Jose Luis Esquivel told Action 4 News that his client is a good man.

He claims that his client hosted a party that just got out of hand.

Mission police raided Esquivel's home on the 900 block of Keystone Street over the weekend.

Investigators found 40 to 50 inside as well as gaming tables, cards, chips, $4,000 in cash and a small amount of cocaine.

"I'm sure that that there's a lot of people right now turning to their friends questioning saying oh my god, we played the same deal...."

Esquivel was released after posting a $7,500 bond.

He now awaits a court date to answer a promotion of gambling charge.
