Indeed, we had an error in some of our initial reporting. If you see any others, please point them out so we can correct. As to the VFW donating ALL their proceeds to charity ... like really, do you mean that? Because, wow, that would not seem like a good business model. And if true, it would make a helluva court case!

I have updated the original post. My mistake. I jumped to the conclusion that a sting of this size was handled (legally speaking) the same way as the four in Dallas before it. Seems like the police took a far more kinder-and-gentler approach to this game. I guess with so many vice cops playing poker, it shouldn't surprise us that they are learning from their mistakes.

One person was arrested for possesion of meth and some people were overlooked and not written violations because the bust was completely unorganized. I was at the v 5 days a week.

Though I do know that the dealers and room operators were picked out for Class A misdemeanors, a level of offense where arrest is likely.

As to the dozen employees ... well actually, i need to look into that, because i may have jumped to some conclusions there ... and that's a real easy fact to verify.

I’m glad you were no more than "30 minutes away" from this location so you could provide us with this valuable information. I'm also amazed you were allowed to capture and keep the pictures of the undercover agents involved. Good Work! I am well aware of your expertise in such reporting and am curious what percentage you felt was truthful from "Deputy Chief J.A. Bernal/Vice and Narcotics". Care to share? (“Two weeks of investigations” and “a dozen employees handcuffed and taken to jail for “keeping a gambling place.”...Just curious as rumors today reflect none of the employees were taken to jail) “Jill” GREAT INTERVIEW DAN!
