During the search, police found four firearms and several casino games, according to California<\/a> TV station KTXL<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tracy Harbutte, 36, was identified as the owner of the residence. She was charged with operating an illegal gambling establishment and animal cruelty.<\/p>\n

The other suspects are Phansy Hea, 41, Jessie Taylor, 29, Ariana Flores, 19, Briana Flores, 18, Eric Hall, 18, and an unnamed 16-year-old.<\/p>\n

They were arrested on gun charges and outstanding warrants.<\/p>\n

35 Flat Tires Near Casino<\/h2>\n

A man was arrested after he allegedly set up a device that punctured the tires of 35-plus cars at or near California\u2019s Table Mountain Casino\u2019s<\/a> parking lot.<\/p>\n

Matthew Ebner, 53, of Dos Palos, Calif., was arrested last week for vandalism in connection with the incidents, according to California TV station KSEE.<\/p>\n

\n

Over three months, some 35 vehicles had their tires damaged after driving in the casino parking lot or operating on a nearby road. They each had driven over homemade metal spikes, which got lodged in their tires, the Fresno County Sheriff\u2019s Office revealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Damage to the vehicles totaled thousands of dollars, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Ebner was identified as a possible suspect after officers spotted a truck that was traced back to him. Police then searched Ebner’s residence, where metal spikes were located last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It was later revealed that Ebner was engaged in a dispute with the casino, according to the sheriff\u2019s office. Police didn\u2019t release details on the disagreement.<\/p>\n

Ebner was booked at the Fresno County Jail. He\u2019s since been released, according to online jail records, and his case has been turned over to local prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Car Stolen at Spokane Tribe Casino<\/h2>\n

A man stole a car from the Spokane Tribe Casino<\/a> on Monday night before crashing it near the Washington State<\/a> gaming property. The Airway Heights Police Department then apprehended the unnamed suspect as he tried to flee from the accident site.<\/p>\n

Police also determined the suspect had a pending warrant for his arrest in connection with a prior incident.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The damaged vehicle was located on Highway 2 near South Hayford Road. A damage estimate wasn\u2019t immediately available from police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
