On a quiet Sunday evening at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay, Wisconsin, chaos erupted as a woman was arrested after announcing shooting threats inside the establishment. The woman, identified as 33-year-old Emily Johnson, was taken into custody by the Oneida Police Department following her alarming statements.
According to witnesses, Johnson entered the casino around 7:30 PM and proceeded to a crowded area near the main entrance. It was there that she began shouting about carrying a firearm and intending to harm patrons inside the casino. The casino immediately went into lockdown mode as security personnel and law enforcement sprang into action to contain the situation.
“Everything happened so quickly, it was like a scene out of a movie,” said one witness who wished to remain anonymous. “People were running and screaming, trying to find a safe place to hide. It was terrifying.”
Police arrived on the scene within minutes and were able to apprehend Johnson without any further incident. She was quickly escorted out of the casino and taken into custody for questioning. Authorities confirmed that Johnson did not have a weapon on her at the time of her arrest.
“We take all threats to public safety very seriously,” said Chief of Police Steven Madosky. “Our officers acted swiftly and decisively to ensure the safety of everyone inside the casino.”
Johnson was later charged with disorderly conduct and making terroristic threats. She is currently being held at the Oneida County Jail pending further investigation. It is unclear at this time what may have motivated Johnson to make such alarming statements.
The incident at the Oneida Casino has left employees and patrons shaken, but also grateful for the quick response of law enforcement. The casino has since reopened and is operating under heightened security measures to ensure the safety of all guests.
“We are thankful that the situation was resolved quickly and without any injuries,” said a spokesperson for the Oneida Casino. “Our thoughts are with those who were affected by this unfortunate event.”
As the investigation into the incident continues, authorities urge anyone with information to come forward. The Oneida Police Department is working closely with the casino to provide support and ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
