The incident happened while <\/span>Frenette was working as a manager last month at the Moncton gaming property.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 56-year-old Moncton resident was assaulted on March 4. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of serious injuries, Canadian news site CTV <\/em>reported. He passed away at the hospital on March 28.<\/p>\n

\n

An unidentified 50-year-old man from Riverview was arrested in connection with the incident, RCMP Cpl. Hans Ouellette told the CBC<\/em>. Details on the arrest weren\u2019t immediately available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frenette was a food and beverage manager at the Great Canadian Gaming Corp. The company operates the casino.<\/p>\n

Kate Macdonald, the casino\u2019s general manager, told the CBC <\/em>in an email, \u201cRodney was a dear colleague and friend to many in the Moncton community, and we are devastated by his passing.”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s survived by his wife and daughter. A service for Frenette took place at the casino.<\/p>\n

Several Charges for Casino Theft<\/h2>\n

A man is facing charges after he allegedly was prevented from stealing $2,600 in cash and cashing in $7K worth of poker chips at Virginia’s Rivers Casino Portsmouth<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Troyon Johnson, had stolen the chips from a gaming table and was cashing them in when he allegedly scooped up $2,600 in cash from a cashier and ran toward an exit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officers were able to tackle him in the casino, but he got away. A short time later, he was apprehended outside of the casino while he was hiding in bushes.<\/p>\n

He was charged with grand larceny, obtaining money under false pretenses, and resisting arrest, according to Virginia TV station WAVY<\/em>. He\u2019s scheduled to appear in court on April 21.<\/p>\n

Suspect Threw Drink at Man in Casino<\/h2>\n

A 22-year-old Collegeville, Pa. man was arrested last month at the state\u2019s Valley Forge Casino Resort<\/a> after he allegedly struck a hand sanitizer stand.<\/p>\n

The unnamed suspect also \u201cthrew a drink\u201d at a 39-year-old West Chester, Pa. visitor at the casino on March 20, Pennsylvania State Police said last week.<\/p>\n

The two men had gotten into a disagreement leading to the unruly actions, according to Pennsylvania\u2019s Sanatoga Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The suspect was arrested by the state police for harassment by physical contact and disorderly conduct charges, authorities said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suspect Steals Wallet from Intoxicated Casino Visitor<\/h2>\n

Jose Rolando Domingo Morales, 61, was arrested on April 2 after he allegedly stole a wallet from the pocket of a man who had fallen down outside of Florida\u2019s Seminole Immokalee Casino.<\/p>\n

Morales took cash from the wallet and then tossed the wallet into bushes, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Morales was charged with robbery. He was booked at the Immokalee Jail, Florida radio station WFLA<\/em> reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The victim apparently had been drinking alcohol before he collapsed. The incident was caught by casino surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n

Police Cars Vandalized at Philadelphia Casino<\/h2>\n

A crowd of people allegedly damaged police vehicles outside of Rivers Casino Philadelphia on April 2.<\/p>\n

The suspects had blocked the entrance to the casino parking lot. They then jumped on top of a responding police car and banged on its windows, authorities said.<\/p>\n

When a second patrol car arrived, the crowd attacked that vehicle and also slashed its tires, police added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additional officers responded and the crowd fled. No word if any suspects were arrested. Some were on dirt bikes.<\/p>\n

A third police car later was discovered vandalized, according to Philadelphia TV station WCAU<\/em>. No one was injured.<\/p>\n

Reward Offered for Atlantis Casino Theft<\/h2>\n

A $500 reward is now being offered for the arrest and prosecution of the person who stole cash from a slot key employee at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nev. on April 1.<\/p>\n

Secret Witness is offering the reward, Nevada TV station KOLO<\/em> reported. As of this week, the suspect remains at large.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
