This week, a woman at Wisconsin's Oneida Casino was taken into custody on six counts after claiming to be in possession of a gun and threatening to open fire on authorities.
According to Wisconsin TV station WFRV, Olympia Broadnax, 42, of Door County, Wisconsin, made the threats on Tuesday afternoon while using the facilities inside the complex.
Said to Possess a Pistol
She revealed to a casino employee that she carried a weapon.
"If the cops come to get her, she may ‘have to pull out her pistol and shoot someone,’” the employee later recounted what Broadnax said, according to the news report.
After taking Broadnax into custody, the police searched her. According to officers, no weapon was found.
She allegedly cursed at the arresting officers and threatened to sue them for the incident, according to WFRV. The reasons behind the lawsuit were not made explicit.
Furthermore, it was unclear why Broadnax made the threats. The altercation resulted with no injuries to anyone.
Having Served a Ban
It transpires that she had been prohibited from entering the casino earlier. What caused the ban is unknown.
Broadnax was arrested this week at Brown County Jail on six offenses. These include four instances of bail jumping, disruptive behavior, and uttering threats of terrorism.
If found guilty of these accusations, she might spend years behind bars.
Thursday, she made an appearance in local court. August 5 was the new date set for her case.
A $50,000 bond was posted for her. Online jail records indicate that as of Saturday morning, she was still being held.
Mason Street is where Oneida Casino is situated in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Oneida Casino is owned and run by the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin.
Police are chased by a motorcyclist to a casino
Recently, a man riding a motorbike is said to have sped on local streets and highways in Arizona while being pursued by police, barely avoiding many crashes. At Wild Horse Pass Resort & Casino, the 67-mile aircraft came to a stop.
On June 16, state troopers arrested 21-year-old Michael S. Khoury there.
The camera mounted on the Falcon helicopter of the Mesa Police Department captured the footage of him operating the motorcycle recklessly.
The Department of Public Safety (DPS) in Arizona published the video on Thursday.
"He fled at a high speed, ran red lights, nearly struck other motorists and a light rail train, and drove the wrong way on city streets,” the DPS said in a statement. “The suspect also narrowly avoided collisions with law enforcement vehicles several times.”
Khoury rode into the casino's parking garage after getting off the I-10 freeway at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard.
He was accused of reckless driving, endangerment, and fleeing from police enforcement.
During a traffic stop on the U.S. 60 freeway, authorities attempted to pull him over, which is when the incident started. Authorities claimed he was speeding and driving carelessly.
