First prostitution arrest reported at slots casino in Hallandale

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Posted December 1 2006

An undercover prostitution sting Wednesday night led to the first arrest inside Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino's slot machine room.

Sheena Marie Kline, 21, approached an undercover Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent in the room's bar area and offered to have sex with him for $250, according to police reports. Kline, of Linden, Va., faces a misdemeanor count of offering to secure a lewd act and a felony count of illegally possessing a prescription painkiller.

The Hallandale Beach track on Nov. 15 became the first of Broward County's four pari-mutuels to offer Las Vegas-style slot machines. In March 2005, Broward voters approved allowing the machines at Gulfstream Park; Mardi Gras Racetrack & Casino, in Hallandale Beach; Pompano Park Harness Track, in Pompano Beach; and Dania Jai-Alai, in Dania Beach.

Slots opponents have long argued that gambling will lead to more crime in the areas surrounding the pari-mutuels.

The gambling industry has maintained there's no proof of a link and that heightened police and security presence in and around the casinos will act as a deterrent.

Gulfstream Park's first two weeks with 516 slots have been pleasantly quiet as far as crime goes, said Michael Mann, FDLE assistant special agent in charge. State law mandates FDLE monitor the slots floor.

"The [first] arrest was going to happen sooner or later," Mann said. "We don't consider it a problem."

After Kline's arrest, agents searched her purse, finding several prescription painkiller pills. She said she was taking them for a knee injury, according to police reports.

As of 6:30 p.m. Thursday, she was being held in the North Broward Jail. Bail was set at $1,300.

The man who headed the push for slots said Kline's arrest shows just how closely the pari-mutuels will be monitored. FDLE is going to be quick to pick up on any problems, said Dan Adkins, who heads Mardi Gras, formerly Hollywood Greyhound Track.

Gulfstream Park spokesman Mike Mullaney declined comment on the arrest.

Who in their right mind would pay $250 for that ugly broad. Why pay for sex when you can get it for free.

Most of you would hit that in a pinch.

Mugshots always look bad. That hot teacher they busted last year in Tampa looked like ass in hers.

Sluts & Slots is a winning combination.

The running theory is that she's from out of state, so the local pimps are pissed off now.
