Woman refuses to leave the Hard Rock casino and injured officer in the process

Things can get wild at casinos, and not just because people try to rob them. Some try to cheat, others get way too drunk, and many simply cannot act right. A woman from Chicago, Tiara S. Johnson, 29, threw a fit of her own on June 23. She and her friends arrived at the Hard Rock Casino and didn’t even make it through the entrance before casing a massive scene and injuring an officer.

Around 11 pm, Tiara was entering the casino with her posse, and for whatever reason one of her friends wasn’t allowed in. Instead of peacefully leaving and finding a different gambling facility, the group began lashing out at the officer and refusing to walk away. But it didn’t end there: Tiara was feeling like living life on the edge that night and shoved the officers in the chest with her hands. Of course, at that point, the poor guy didn’t have any choice but to arrest the fussy little.

You would think that would be a good time to relent and calm down. But no, Tiara got her claws out and took a swing at Gary police officer's eye. The Lake Criminal Court reported that she left cuts on his face and eyes and subconjunctival bleeding from his left eye.

Tiara S. Johnson made her first court appearance Friday. Believe it or not, she also had the nerve to plead not guilty on counts of battery resulting in bodily injury to a public safety official, resisting law enforcement, misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct.

Currently, there is no additional information on Tiara’s friends, but it seems like they weren’t doing much more than cursing and running their mouths. Regardless, it was probably a lesson learned for the whole pack of undisciplined buddy pals. And, of course, it’s a perfect example of what you should never do at a casino facility - or anywhere else for that matter.

Young man climbs over 60 floors of Aria Resort and Casino to protest COVID-19 mandates

Just as Nevada got a taste of freedom after the lockdown, mask mandates went back into effect Friday, this late June. Not many are happy with the reinstated regulations, but very few attempt to push back against the retrogression. However, a 22-year-old man named Maison Des Champs took it upon himself to make a statement, quite a shocking one too. After losing his grandfather to suicide during the lockdown, he began to protest against the government’s infringement on freedom. This Tuesday, Des Champs climbed 60-some floors of the Aria Resort and Casino’s exterior to send a message.

Request for Internet Service Providers in Australia to block review sites with illegal gambling ads

Hundreds of illegal online casinos in Australia have been blocked over the years due to illegal operations. Yet, they keep surfacing, and review sites are being less than helpful in terms of eliminating the criminal and civil offenses caused by them. Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) reaches out to the country’s internet service providers for backup, as illegal online gambling activities continue posing risks to problem players and those who underestimate the importance of a gaming license on casino sites. AMCA representatives instruct consumers to report unlicensed gambling services.
