The raid on Bodog.com Founder
and CEO's Costa Rican compound
Friday night came after much
rigorous research by Costa Rican
authorities which included among
other things, reading articles
on Gambling911.com.
At the time of the raid, Ayre
was hosting some 100 people
while shooting the final episode
of a "poker" reality series.
Gambling911.com is cited in the
affidavit that led to Friday
evening's raid on Ayre's
sprawling Santa Ana, estate.
Authorities also cited
"investigating the premise and
seeing models, many of them
blonde, entering the compound,
as well as many persons with
American characteristics."
A drug dog was also brought onto
the scene and thought if found
something in the maid's room.
What the canine found was the
maid's underwear drawer. So the
police went through every piece
of underwear, one thong at a
time.
Then the dog and trainer joined
other officers at the buffet
table after finding no drugs in
the house.
Three officers stripped down and
jumped in the swimming pool in
order to explore a man-made cave
under a waterfall. One officer
walked into a glass wall three
different times.
Upon entering Calvin Ayre's huge
walk-in closet with guns
displayed, they confiscated all
old schedules related to
previous week travel routes of
celebrities participating in the
poker reality series.
Police inside the compound
ordered everyone out while
police on the front lawn and
street ordered everyone back
inside.
"60 to 100 police officers
arrived in buses," Ayre told
Gambling911.com earlier in the
day on Tuesday. "Crime must have
been rampant in the rest of the
city since there were no cops
anywhere but my party."
Some of the officers were
overheard in Spanish saying they
had no idea why they were there.
Ahhh...a deck of cards was
finally discovered as evidence
until it was pointed out that
nearly every house has a deck of
cards. They left the deck there.
Officers asked the models in
skin tight outfits if they had
guns.
Actors playing guards for the
reality show were arrested for
failing to maintain guard
permits.
When all was said and done, the
officers confiscated two
computers and one legally
licensed pistol. The
investigation concluded with no
charges filed.
