Keila Diaz,<\/a> 47, of Freehold, NJ, works at the Monmouth County corrections department, NJ Advance Media<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Monmouth Sheriff Shaun Golden told the news outlet that following the violent scuffle, Diaz was suspended without pay from the job she has held since 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This type of behavior is inexcusable from anyone, but, particularly from a member of law enforcement, who at all times, on or off duty, should exhibit the highest level of professionalism, with honor and integrity,\u201d Golden told NJ Advance Media<\/em>. \u201cAny conduct that does not meet that expectation will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diaz and a male acquaintance, Damian Pineyro, 35, were both charged with aggravated assault for Sunday\u2019s brawl at the Tropicana Atlantic City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diaz was also charged with simple assault while Pineryo was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and terroristic threats.<\/p>\n

Pineryo allegedly punched the female victim in the face and assaulted a male victim. Pineryo additionally tried to stab that same man, authorities said.<\/p>\n

In addition, Diaz allegedly attacked the female victim as she was lying on the floor.<\/p>\n

The female victim was unconscious when she was transported to Atlantic City\u2019s AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center. She\u2019s expected to recover after receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

A video of the fracas was posted by Barstool Sports on X. It had been watched 2.4 million times by Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Man Arrested for Exposing Private Parts at Casino<\/h2>\n

A Louisiana man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly showing off his genitals<\/a> to several visitors and employees at an unspecified Shreveport, La. gaming property.<\/p>\n

\n

Lucas Burns, 45, of Shreveport, bared himself on the casino\u2019s first floor, police said. He then ran off into a nearby parking garage Saturday morning. Soon after, he was apprehended and charged with obscenity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The casino is located on Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway.<\/p>\n

Casino Janitor Steals Lost $10K<\/h2>\n

A janitor at a Missouri<\/a> gaming property is facing a court case after he allegedly scooped up a lost stack of $100 bills, according to a recent news report.<\/p>\n

\n

Rather than handing the $10K over to security officers at Hollywood Casino St. Louis, he kept the cash for himself and hid the money under a towel. But the man who had lost the cash soon reported to casino security that the money had fallen out of his pocket on that July day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Guards checked surveillance video<\/a>, which showed janitor, Joshua Turner cleaning near the elevators, spotting the money, and placing it on his cleaning cart.<\/p>\n

Security guards later found Turner asleep in a casino restaurant. He admitted to taking the money, but claimed finding the cash was a \u201cblessing.\u201d He was arrested for stealing, police said.<\/p>\n

The money was still covered by the towel when authorities inspected the cleaning cart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
