Five people were arrested as a result of an investigation about theft and cheating at an Osceola casino that lasted one week and was conducted by the Division of Criminal Investigation. The arrests were made after DCI gaming agents suspected that a casino dealer at Terrible’s Lakeside Casino in Osceola had been working with patrons to cheat in Mini Baccarat.

The agents were able to determine that 22-year-old Larry Shephard had misplayed hands switching cards, exposing cards and also paying losing hands. He paid out over $12,000 in casino money after the review of the surveillance video was made.
