Continuing with their initiative to eradicate illegally operated game rooms, Detectives with the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Narcotics and Vice Investigations Division (NVID) took down yet another illicit gambling operation Wednesday afternoon on the city’s south side. At approximately 4:00 pm yesterday, NVID Detectives served a search warrant at the Silver Sevens Game room located on the 5200 block of Everhart Road. The search warrant was the conclusion of a weeks-long investigation into the business that uncovered evidence of illegal gambling. During the search, Detectives found and seized fifty-three pieces of gambling equipment and over $15,000 in cash. Anissa Najera, age 26, was arrested and charged with gambling promotion, keeping a gambling place, and possession of a gambling device. All three charges are Class A misdemeanors, punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine up to $4,000. Four adult patrons inside the game room were cited for gambling, a class C misdemeanor. The investigation continues, and additional charges and arrests are possible.

Wednesday’s search warrant was the second search warrant served just this week on illegal game rooms, neither of which possessed a valid Nueces County Game Room permit. NVID will continue to target these illegal gambling operations until they cease operating within our city limits. 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 Traffic Unit, as well as investigators with the State of Texas Comptroller’s Office, which regulates coin operated machines.

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.

Corpus Christi Police Department Robbery/Homicide Detectives are continuing the investigation into the human remains discovered Monday afternoon at the Perry Place wastewater lift station, located off the 5300 block of Lexington Road. City Water employees discovered the remains while conducting maintenance operations at about 3:30 pm Monday afternoon and immediately contacted the Police Department.

Detectives are attempting to determine how the human remains found their way into the wastewater lift station collection well. The remains, which bore no obvious signs of homicide, were transported to the Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office for examination. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, the Medical Examiner’s Office was unable to make an identification, nor provide a manner or cause of death at this time. The remains are being sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification (UNTCHI) for DNA analysis. The UNTCHI is the foremost resource in the United States for the identification of missing persons and unidentified human remains.

If you have information regarding this investigation, please contact the Corpus Christi Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at (361) 826-2840 or you can submit an anonymous tip at Crime Stoppers 888-TIPS (888-8477).
