NORWICH - A gambler from New York with a history of cheating was arrested at the Mohegan Sun Casino Thursday after investigators discovered he had been marking cards during a poker game, state police said.
Sholem J. Weisner, 26, of Brooklyn, was found with about $55,000 in his hotel room at the casino Thursday.
He is being charged with cheating, first-degree larceny and criminal trespass. He is out on $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Norwich on Dec. 6.
State police say Weisner had been marking certain cards while playing Texas Hold-em to determine their location.
Weisner had been thrown out of the casino in September 2006 for cheating, but was using a friend's Players Club card and social security card on Thursday to avoid being identified, state police said.
