More details about the Lodge situation coming out from examining the affidavit.
It looks like the Lodge serving alcohol did play at least some role in the recent development, at least according to one part of the affidavit that Chad Holloway dug up.
The issue, it seems, is that a business holding an alcohol license could not hold poker tournaments where real money is at stake.
While this may sound like a minor issue, it could give the DA a solid footing in claiming that the gambling taking place inside the club was illegal (i.e., not done fully in compliance with all relevant laws).
