Dearborn County – Last evening a five month long investigation culminated in the arrest of a second suspect in a case where two former casino employees allegedly took over $400,000 from the Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg.
Last evening former Hollywood Casino Surveillance Technician Director, Christopher Krabbe, age 42 from West Harrison, Indiana, met State Police Investigators at the Dearborn County Jail where he was lodged on charges of Racketeering-Corrupt Business Influence, Theft and Money Laundering, all Class “C” Felonies.
On Tuesday evening investigators had arrested the former Hollywood Casino Surveillance Director, Michael Burnett, age 39 of Fairfield, Ohio, at the Dearborn County Jail. Burnett was charged with the same three Class “C” Felonies as Krabbe.
The charges stem from the two men allegedly setting up two false security equipment companies. The two would then purchase security equipment and charge repair work from their companies to the casino, often overcharging and double billing for the equipment and work.
Versailles Post Investigators were assisted in the investigation by investigators from the Indiana Gaming Commission.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
