Buddy of mine was robbed may 16th 2024 at the Pensacola dog track in the parking lot.
Around 2:00am a friend of mine left the poker room and headed out the doors of the Pensacola dog track, initially he stopped by the police officers car to get assistance to his car. The police officer was not in his car nor nowhere to be found.
My friend proceeded just to take that walk to his car giving nothing apposed any threats to him giving he's built impression of a "Trustful Environment" at the track.
Note: (My friend is a high stakes player and carry's lots of cash north of $50k)
He proceeded to his car that was parked on the flat side of the track parking lot. As he approached the front of his car. Two men open doors of truck, the driver sat in his seat with his legs hanging out pointing a gun, the passenger from the back seat pointed a gun and chased my friend. The passenger caught my friend and grabbed his LV bag, and ran back to the truck, my friend got up off the ground and proceeded to walk towards the truck for a better look at the license plate. Thats when the passenger opened his door again and pointed his gun. My friend was only able to get a partial plate,
My friend proceeded back inside after the robbery and try to make contact with security, manager or police officer. At the time he got to a manager and he told the manger that he was just robbed, (10 mins gone by with this manager)
and still no security or police officer in sight. Finally, police officer comes out of nowhere and walks up to my friend and takes a police report.
This robbery is stemmed from the high stakes plo game that runs in the back. Lots of jailbirds, lots of thugs and bad people. There's always an issue that happens in this game everyday this game runs. There's been fighting, there's been arguments, there's even been threats made to other players. Nothing by the management has been done to prevent this type of behavior and these unfortunate events for the players to feel safe.
Moving on, the next day the higher up manager gets a call from a "concerned player" asking all these questions about the robbery. A player that was there at the poker room the night of the robbery. (No honor amongst thieves type @#$%, maybe?) but my question is if the player was so concerned why didn't he just reach out to the victim? My other question is why is these players or game still going at this time. if it only stems violence and crime out of it.
Is this what the track and the owners from POARCH BAND OF CREEKS INDIAN TRIBE are stating that ( they don't give a @#$% about players they only care about there money?) pretty much is what they are staying, numerous of players have been saying for years and complaining about the "NO CAMERAS" out in the parking lot, the lack of security and patrol officers.. as a player and friend I speak on the behalf for all players, we come to your establishment let you take our money, let you charge 35% rake in all tournaments, have your employees steal our money from the promotion money the players accumulate for the track right under our noses and do absolutely nothing about it. More especially for my friend that got robbed in your parking lot for his $3k lv bag and $58k in cash all his jewelry and all his personal things such as.. driver license, credit cards, debit cards etc and
WHAT THE @#$% IS GOING ON THE PORACH BAND OF CREEKS INDIAN TRIBE.
only one manager expressed his sympathy to the victim of the robbery. Not other manager nor higher manger has even reached out.
