A professional poker player accused an East Los Angeles deputy officer of stealing $500 worth of casino chips from him in 2020, but the district attorney's office, following a lengthy investigation, recently decided no charges will be filed.

The alleged incident took place during a traffic stop, in which the apparent victim whose name hasn't been identified claims Deputy Braulio Robledo illegally swiped poker chips out of his car.

Robledo denied ever having pulled over the poker player, but an internal investigation of video surveillance captured his patrol vehicle at the scene of the alleged crime.
