A woman at Wisconsin’s Oneida Casino was arrested on six charges this week after she claimed to have a gun and warned she would start shooting if police approached her.

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

Claimed to Have Pistol

She told a casino employee she was armed with a pistol.

If the cops come to get her, she may ‘have to pull out her pistol and shoot someone,’” the employee later recounted what Broadnax said, according to the news report.

Police searched Broadnax after placing her in custody. Officers said no weapon was located.

During her arrest, she allegedly swore at officials and said she would file a lawsuit for the incident, WFRV reported. It wasn’t clear what the grounds were for the legal action.

Nor was it clear what led Broadnax to make the threats. No one was injured during the confrontation.

Had Been Banned

It turns out, earlier she had been banned from entering the casino. No word what led to the ban.

This week, Broadnax was booked on six charges at Brown County Jail. These include: making terrorist threats, disorderly conduct, as well as four counts of bail jumping.

If convicted on these charges, she could face years in prison.

She appeared in local court on Thursday. Her case was continued to August 5.

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

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

Motorcyclist Leads Cops on Chase to Casino

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

That’s where state troopers apprehended Michael S. Khoury, 21, on June 16.

The video of his reckless operation of the motorcycle was filmed by a camera on Mesa Police Department’s Falcon helicopter.

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

He fled at a high speed, ran red lights, nearly struck other motorists and a light rail train, and drove the wrong way on city streets,” the DPS said in a statement. “The suspect also narrowly avoided collisions with law enforcement vehicles several times.”

Khoury exited the I-10 freeway at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard, and then rode into the casino’s parking garage.

He was charged with flight from law enforcement, endangerment, 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 speeding.
