This time. this new story takes us to South America. In Paraguay, a military drew his gun in a casino and threatened the cashier in front of everyone. According to the local police station, the person in custody is Fidel Gerardo González Palacios, a 35 years old male from the Navy. During the detention, the police found a Heckler gun among González belongings.
The casino call to 911
After González disruption, the casino called 911 service right away. According to police data, the 911 System received the call at 7:45 with an emergency alert from the casino. Once the police were alerted about the situation, they stepped into the casino quickly.
According to the security cameras, the military went to the cashier and say a few words to the cashier. Seconds later, he drew his gun and put it on the cash desk. The police said that González threatened the cashier, demanding 500.000 guaraní, the local currency in Paraguay. This way, he could keep playing in the casino. If we make the conversion, this sum results in around 65 euros only, so it wasn’t taken as a major threat. Still, lives were in danger during this action.
Later on, the guy put his weapon back and a second person confronted him peacefully, and both left the cashier’s desk. It can be also seen on the video that González had an apparently alcoholic drink on the other hand. Finally, the police department reported that the guy in custody was drunk after running a test for alcoholic intake. Luckily, the confiscated weapon had no bullets, so it wasn’t more than a good scare for the casino personnel.
