Around 2 p.m. on Thursday agents entered Internet Express Cafe, located at 8810 SW SR 200. The business owner, James Blacketer Sr., was warned several weeks ago to cease operation immediately due to the ongoing illegal gambling activities. Blacketer did not comply with these orders and agents obtained a search warrant.
According to investigators, Internet Express Cafe was earning between $1,200 and $2,600 a day by operating the gambling house.
In total, 43 computer stations were confiscated from the business and one employee, Victoria Coons, 24, of Ocala, was arrested. Agents are also in the process of issuing a warrant for Blacketer's arrest.
