An employee, Reshav Bhandari, was arrested on criminal charges but was later out on bond. 

"Illegal gambling often lead to much larger crimes putting the safety of the public in jeopardy," Constable Herman said in a statement. "They are often targeted locations for serious crimes. These illegal gambling businesses are not regulated by the state and therefor do not create a ‘fair’ chance at winning. If you know or suspect a location of illegal gambling, please contact our dispatch at 281-376-3472 or online.
