Owner's Arrest Causes Poker Business to Close

By launchpoker, Dec 7, 2007

A Fort Collins poker supply store manager has gone on record claiming he had no knowledge of an illegal gambling operation running out of his shop, despite the fact that police arrested his business partner for running it. Dustin Santino, the owner of Front Range Poker Supply, was arrested for running a professional gambling ring, a misdemeanor. Another charge was a felony, however - possession of a weapon by a previous offender. Two others were arrested in conjunction with what police say were high-stakes Texas Holdem games. The store is likely to close after the owner's arrest.
