Armed Robbery Attempt at Poker Room Ends in SWAT Arrest

Armed Robbery Attempt at Poker Room Ends in SWAT Arrest


A Strange Robbery Attempt

A bizarre crime unfolded at Card House Port St. Lucie in Florida when Dylan Avery Orlando, 24, attempted to rob another player of their blue baseball cap at gunpoint.

Witnesses reported that Orlando repeatedly demanded the hat, even threatening others at the table by saying, "I'm going to hurt somebody tonight." When the hat owner decided to leave, Orlando followed him outside, brandished a firearm, and once again demanded the cap.




SWAT Team Arrest

Luckily, authorities were already on their way. Although Orlando initially escaped, police identified his vehicle and obtained a warrant for his arrest. A SWAT team later raided his home in Fort Pierce, where he was taken into custody without incident.

Orlando now faces multiple charges, including armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, reckless driving, and driving with a suspended license. His bail was set at $22,000.


A Security Wake-Up Call?

This unusual case raises questions about poker room security. Should these venues increase surveillance and security measures to prevent similar incidents?
