Man Arrested for Dispensing Cocaine-Laced Business Cards at Casino; Update on Toronto Casino Security Guard Murder
Casinos often find themselves entangled in peculiar crimes and misadventures. This trend resurfaced recently as police apprehended a man accused of distributing business cards offering "free samples" of cocaine at a downtown Calgary casino.
The incident unfolded on December 23rd when authorities received a tip about an individual distributing business cards under the alias "Alex Lee," each accompanied by a sample of cocaine.
"Following leads on the suspect known as 'Alex Lee,' investigators gathered evidence throughout January, suggesting his involvement in drug trafficking, including the utilization of a vehicle," stated Calgary police.
On February 3rd, officers apprehended the suspect, Seyyed Amir Razavi, during a routine traffic stop. Subsequent search warrants were issued for the 30-year-old's vehicle and residence. The search yielded nearly 60 grams of cocaine, meticulously divided into over 50 baggies.
Furthermore, a digital scale with traces of drug residue, $1,280 in cash, and business cards bearing the name "Alex Lee" were seized. Razavi now faces severe charges, including two counts of trafficking a controlled substance, one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and three counts of possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000. Despite his arrest, Razavi was released pending his court appearance scheduled for February 26th.
Police Continue Search for Suspected Casino Murderer
In a separate incident involving a casino, a tragic event unfolded in October at a Toronto-area casino, where a 17-year-old allegedly shot and killed a Casino Pickering security guard, Michael Ferdinand, 34, around 5 a.m. The suspect, identified as Tyjae Nosworthy-Smith, remains at large, facing second-degree murder charges.
Nosworthy-Smith reportedly fled the casino premises immediately following the shooting, accompanied by a group of armed individuals. Despite ongoing efforts, authorities have not provided any recent updates on the case.
Law enforcement agencies have issued appeals for Nosworthy-Smith to surrender. While the motive behind the alleged murder remains unclear, investigators have stated that the shooting does not appear to have been premeditated.
