Alleged Serial Bank Robber Also Went to Casino
This is not the first time a suspect in a criminal case headed to the Plainridge Park Casino after allegedly committing a crime.

In May 2019, a suspect in several bank robberies was apprehended while gambling at the same gaming property. Joseph Hickson, age 31, who lived in Walpole at the time of his arrest, allegedly robbed several banks either in Massachusetts or Rhode Island.

He appeared in local court after his arrest. It is unclear if he was found guilty in connection with the charges.

Drug, Weapon Charges Filed Against Other Casino Visitors
In 2018 two New Hampshire residents were indicted by a Massachusetts grand jury for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine (meth) and allegedly possessing a firearm at Plainridge Park Casino. The weapon was loaded at the time.

Andre Watson, 42, and Jennifer Quinn, 45, who both lived in Concord at the time of their arrests, were each indicted for a single count of trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of a Class E substance (two counts each), and a single count each of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of a loaded firearm.

Watson was also indicted for resisting arrest, distribution of a Class B substance as a subsequent offense, and being a Level II armed career criminal.

The duo was apprehended in the casino parking lot. Police seized a loaded semiautomatic pistol, a magazine with ammunition rounds, more than five plastic containers of suspected methamphetamine, and a variety of Class E substance pills. These included Sildenafil and Hydrochlorothiazide during the arrests, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement at the time of the arrest.파워볼사이트

The disposition of the charges against the duo was unclear. As of 2019, MGM Springfield saw a higher crime rate than Plainridge Park.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is studying the impact of having casinos in local communities, such as Plainridge Park. The state’s two other casinos, Encore Boston Harbor and MGM Springfield are also being reviewed in the study.
