 | college station texas game busted |
A regular 10/20 raked limit game got busted in College Station on Monday night. It sounds like it was a pretty sizeable operation -- the article claims they had ten tables and that the bust was the result of a three-month investigation.
About 25 people were in the facility at about 8:30 p.m. Monday, and 18 of them were issued a citation for gambling. The Class C misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of up to $500, Dickson said.The article also quotes the Bryan TABC office supervisor as saying that the recent robberies in Austin were part of the motivation to bust the game:Police arrested 28-year-old Shawn Michael Lauderdale, who authorities believe was in charge of the operation, and two accused dealers, 30-year-old Jose Guadalupe Galvan Jr. of Bryan and 48-year-old Harold Ray Eaton of Houston. Each is charged with promotion of gambling, intentionally or knowingly operating a gambling place and possession of gambling paraphernalia -- all Class A misdemeanors punishable by a fine of up to $4,000 and a year in jail.
"We had some concerns — some of these operations, especially in Austin and Waco, have been getting robbed," he said. "We figured it was not your typical nickel-and-dime poker game, and it worried us."Link (thanks, Mike!)
"We have robberies occurring... let's go bust a poker game!" Good job! Sort of like putting out a fire by going shopping. I can understand it, though. The poker players are far less likely to shoot than real criminals.
