NVID RAIDS SOUTHSIDE GAME ROOM FOR SECOND TIME OVER ILLEGAL GAMBLING OPERATION

Detectives with the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Narcotics and Vice Investigations Division dismantled another illicit gambling operation Thursday, November 21st, serving a search warrant at the El Patron Game Room in the 4600 block of S Padre Island drive. The search warrant was the conclusion of a months-long investigation into the business that, once again, uncovered evidence of continued illegal gambling. During Thursday’s operation, Detectives found and seized multiple illegal gambling devices and over $25,000 in cash. One employee were arrested and charged with gambling promotion, keeping a gambling place, possession of a gambling device, and engaging in organized criminal activity. Engaging in organized criminal activity is a state jail felony, punishable by up to two years in jail and a maximum $10,000 fine, while the other three charges are class A misdemeanors. 21 adult patrons inside the game room were cited for gambling, a class C misdemeanor. NVID had previously raided the same location in March of 2024.

This investigation continues, and additional charges and arrests are possible. The Corpus Christi Police Department reminds citizens that game rooms which pay out cash rewards are engaging in illegal gambling. Patrons as well as the management of these establishments may face criminal charges.

NVID Detectives were assisted in the operation by officers with the CCPD Operations Division, as well as investigators with the State of Texas Comptroller’s Office, which regulates coin operated machines. No coin operated machine violations were found.

The Corpus Christi Police Department continues to collaborate with our local state and federal partners to investigate and combat illegal gambling. Investigators will continue to enforce all Texas gambling laws, which will help accomplish our mission to reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime and to improve the quality of life in our community.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ARREST

On November 18, 2024, at about 6:03 pm CCPD officers were dispatched to the 5700 block of Everhart Rd in reference to a stabbing. Officers arrived at the business and located a 35-year-old male victim. The male was transported to a local hospital with life threatening injuries.

Officers secured the scene and began to contact witnesses and employees.

The preliminary investigation showed the victim was terminated from his place of employment earlier in the day. The place of employment was adjacent to where the victim was found.

Witnesses stated the victim had come back to work several times throughout the day to harass and threaten employees. The police were called several times, but the male would runaway before the police would arrive.

The last time the victim showed up he began to assault an ex-co-worker in the parking lot.

The victim then approached another ex co -worker. The ex co worker then stabbed the victim.

The offender was identified as 53-year-old Margarito Cisneros. He was ultimately arrested for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly weapon. Cisneros was transported to the city detention center.

This is still an active investigation.
