It’s that old standard poker story:
- Delaware state trooper plays in high stakes poker game
- Three masked gunmen enter the room
- Said trooper assists in “1st-degree robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony”
- Idiots get busted, plead guilty
- Six years in jail for everyone!
This is pretty wild west for the great state of Delaware. If anything, this is good for their street cred.
The incident took place at the Wild Quail Country Club in February of last year. HyunJin Kim (the former trooper) says he’s sorry. So there’s that. Sentencing was carried out yesterday. So for the next six years, Kim will be playing for cigarettes and pretending he wasn’t a cop before landing in jail.
Lesson learned: watch your back in Delaware and lock the door while playing for high stakes. It must be a lot safer to play online… obviously.
