Two more people were arrested and charged with felonies over a Phoenix-area poker club that held regular low-stakes cash games and tournaments for its members.
According to a report from azcentral.com, two workers were charged Wednesday with the illegal control of a criminal enterprise and managing a gambling enterprise, that are both felonies. They were also charged with misdemeanors for taking advantage of gambling and possession of a gambling device, the report said.
The persons are Jeremy Ramon Muniz, 29, and Bethany Graham, 26.
The owners of Poker Union, Esho Odisho, 31, and Ashour Hermez Odisho, 45, were charged earlier this month, in addition to 46-year-old Bruce Lord, who was the club’s tournament manager. An earlier azcentral.com report said that every one five were arrested on the time of the Aug. 11 raid.
Police and the state Department of Gaming did an undercover investigation between October and January, after which months later they busted the sport. All the investigation took a year.
The Phoenix area is home to 8 poker rooms at tribal casinos. There are greater than 100 poker tables between the casinos. Commercial casinos aren’t allowed within the state.
