Police seized $21,000, drugs and weapons when they raided an illegal poker game in a building off Yadkin Road on Friday.

Misdemeanor citations were issued to 40 people, many of them identified as Fort Bragg soldiers, said Lt. Chris Davis of the Fayetteville Police Department.

The game operator was identified as Christian Lusardi, 36, of the 2500 block of Lullwater Drive, Davis said.

City police were assisted by state Alcohol Law Enforcement agents, he said.

Police received a complaint in March about a gambling house that was operating out of a building at 704-A Festus Ave., Davis said.
