A woman was arrested this week at the Oneida Casino in Wisconsin on six charges, claiming she had a gun and warning she would start shooting if police approached her.

Olympia Broadnax, 42, of Door County, Wisconsin, was in a restroom at the complex Tuesday afternoon when she made the threats, Wisconsin TV station WFRV reported.

Claimed to have a gun

She told a casino employee that she had a gun on her.

If police come to get her, she might have to “pull her gun and shoot someone,” the employee later recounted Broadnax saying, according to the news report.

Police searched Broadnax after taking her into custody. Officers said no weapon was found.

During her arrest, she allegedly cursed at officers and said she would file a lawsuit over the incident, WFRV reported. It was not clear what the grounds for the legal action were.

It was also unclear what prompted Broadnax to make the threats. No one was injured during the confrontation.

Was forbidden

It turns out she had already been banned from the casino. There is no word on the cause of the ban.

This week, Broadnax was booked into the Brown County Jail on six charges. These include: terroristic threats, disorderly conduct and four counts of violating bail.

If found guilty of these charges, she could face years in prison.

She appeared in the local court on Thursday and her case was continued until August 5.

Her bail was set at $50,000. She remained in custody Saturday morning, according to online jail records.

Oneida Casino is located on Mason Street in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin owns and operates Oneida Casino.

Motorcyclist leads officers on chase to casino

A man on a motorcycle recently narrowly avoided multiple crashes as he reportedly raced down Arizona highways and local streets, with police in tow. The 67-mile flight stopped at Wild Horse Pass Resort & Casino.

There, on June 16, state agents arrested Michael S. Khoury, 21.

Footage of his reckless behavior with the motorcycle was captured by a camera mounted on the Mesa Police Department’s Falcon helicopter.

The video was released Thursday by the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).





He fled at a high rate of speed, running red lights, nearly striking other motorists and a light rail train, and driving the wrong way on city streets,” the DPS said in a statement. “The suspect also narrowly avoided collisions with law enforcement vehicles on multiple occasions.”

Khoury exited the I-10 freeway at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard and then drove into the casino parking garage.

He was charged with fleeing police, causing danger and reckless driving.

The incident began when officers attempted to pull him over during a traffic stop on the U.S. 60 Freeway. Police said he was driving recklessly and too fast.
