Three suspects are behind bars after police said they busted an illegal gambling house in Tampa on Sunday.
The Tampa Police Department said its street anti-crimes squad, SWAT team, K9 unit, and bomb squad arrested the three suspects, who are accused of operating an illegal gambling house out of All Stars Tampa Domino Club in the 2300 block of West Waters Avenue. Those suspects have been identified by investigators as Marcelino Perez, 67; Charlie Parilla, 32; and Kendrick Franklin, 29.
TPD said authorities were made aware of the illegal gambling house back in December 2023. That’s when undercover detectives began conducting surveillance where they watched people walk into the business and then leave an average of three minutes later with paper receipts, which is “far less time than needed to play a game of dominos,” investigators noted in the search warrant.
