Little Rock police raided a poker club and arrested four dealers and the owner on felony charges of running an illegal gaming establishment.
Officer Cassandra Davis said the vice detail served a search-and-seizure warrant Sunday on the National Poker Challenge club.
The club said its games are legal because players aren't required to pay to play. Davis said officers seized six poker tables, assorted gambling paraphernalia and documents.
Arrested were 38-year-old Logan Dungan of North Little Rock, 25-year-old Jodie Crawmer of Cabot, 44-year-old Scott Grissom of Little Rock and 30-year-old Felicia Burlison of Bauxite.
Police said owner Timmy Le of Houston was also arrested on felony gambling charges.

Drugs, Rape, Murder, Child Molestation, Child Abuse, Robbery, Kidnapping & so many more...all of these things take place everyday, not just all over the world, but right here in our home towns, and I think it is a disgrace that the LRPD can't find anything better to do than to raid some harmless poker club-they weren't hurting anybody! I'm not saying that what they were doing is right b/c I don't know the laws on that kind of thing, but I will tell you one thing: some of those people working there were told by their employer that what they were doing was 100% legal. They have families, children...SMALL children...and were only trying to make a living to support them. IF ANYONE DESERVES TO BE IN TROUBLE, IT IS THE OWNER & NOT JUST FOR RUNNING AN "ILLEGAL" POKER CLUB, IF IT EVEN IS ILLEGAL, BUT ALSO FOR LIEING TO HIS EMPLOYEES AND FOR JEOPORDIZING THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FUTURES!!!!!!!!!!! If justice will be served, let it be served on the right people, NOT THE INNOCENT!!!
