MAN, 79, ARRESTED AFTER RUNNING A CRAPS GAME OFF THE BACK OF HIS SCOOTER IN A MALL FOOD COURT
MAN, 79, ARRESTED AFTER RUNNING A CRAPS GAME OFF THE BACK OF HIS SCOOTER IN A MALL FOOD COURT DAYTON, OHIO — Cornell Draeger, 79, was arrested Tuesday after mall security finally caught up with a mobile craps operation he had allegedly been running out of a felt board mounted to his mobility scooter, five months after reports of the game first surfaced. Security says the game's mobility was exactly what made it so hard to shut down, with Draeger able to pack up and vanish into another wing before anyone could confirm what they'd seen. Cornell Draeger, 79, allegedly mounted a felt board across his scooter basket as a portable table He could reportedly pack up and relocate to a different food court wing in under a minute Mall security say they had been chasing reports of the game for nearly five months Investigators found a hand-written payout chart taped to the board, with the highest payout at $1,000 A cash box was securely strapped to the scooter's rear frame for quick getaways Shoppers said Draeger had built a loyal following of regulars who knew to look for him near the food court's north wing on weekday afternoons. One witness said "he'd roll away so casually you'd think he was just heading to get a pretzel." "I've chased down shoplifters, loiterers, one guy selling bootleg perfume," said mall security supervisor Frank Delgado. "Never a fully mobile casino operating out of a scooter basket for five straight months." The payout chart, taped to the felt board, reportedly declined to comment. He rolled the dice on borrowed time — now security's finally caught up with him. Images and full story copyrighted TBC Viral Media 2026. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
