Detroit — A former MotorCity Casino dealer is accused of conspiring with six associates in a cheating conspiracy involving hundreds of dollars, according to Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette.
Darryl Green, 53, was employed at the Detroit casino in 2014, when he allegedly made payouts on losing bets and declined to collect payment on lost bets during games of Texas Hold ’em, Schuette said. An investigation by Michigan State Police revealed six people allegedly were involved in the scheme, Schuette said.
State police investigated following a request from the casino, according to Schuette.
Those charged include: Detroiters Green; Eugene Davis Jr., 32; Earl Leonard Railey, 65; and Calvin Lawrence Pullom, 47; as well as Roxanna Dee McKinney, 49, of Farmington Hills; Leah Katrelle Smith, 42, of Melvindale; and Hayword Milton Stampley, 57, of West Bloomfield Township.
The six co-conspirators “knew Green and associated with him outside of the casino prior to and after the alleged cheating,” Schuette said in a news release.
All defendants are charged with one count each felony conspiracy to cheat at a gambling game, gambling activities, conspiracy to commit larceny in a building and larceny in a building. They each face up to 10 years on the gambling activities charges.
All seven defendants were given the opportunity to turn themselves in to authorities, Schuette said. Five of the seven defendants arrived in court for arraignments in the Wayne County 36th District court over the last two weeks and are due back in court March 1 after they received various bonds at arraignment:
■ Green: $5,000, personal bond
■ Davis Jr.: $10,000, personal bond
■ Calvin Pullom: $5,000, 10 percent bond
■ Stampley: $10,000, personal bond
■ Smith: $5,000, personal bond
Railey and McKinney remain at-large, Schuette said. Railey faces an additional charge of habitual offender, fourth offense while McKinney is charged as a habitual offender, second offense.
The court is waiting for the last two defendants to surrender themselves for arraignments, Schuette said.
