Woman Arrested After Illegal Gambling Investigation: Sarasota County Sheriff

VENICE, FL — A woman was arrested Wednesday after a months-long investigation into several illegal gambling operations in Sarasota County, authorities said.

Taylor Swim, 28, was charged with keeping and maintaining a gambling house and possession of slot machines, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

She was taken into custody at the 41 Social Club, 1978 S. Tamiami Trail, by SCSO in cooperation with the Florida Gaming Control Commission.

During an execution of a search warrant at the 41 Social Club, 66 slot machines and U.S. currency were seized, deputies said.

Other evidence found in the building was the cease-and-desist letter that the sheriff’s office gave the business in April.

“We will continue our partnership with FGCC focusing on the same goal of shutting down these illegal gambling businesses in our community. To our citizens, we hear you, and we will continue to hold them accountable,” Sheriff Kurt Hoffman said.
