Man with gun arrested in Club One Casino

A man who appeared to be acting strangely inside Club One Casino in downtown Fresno early Friday was arrested after police found that he was armed with a handgun, Sgt. Conrado Martin reported.

The incident took place just before 3 a.m. after officials from the casino at Van Ness and Tulare avenues called police to report that Benjamin Yang, of North Carolina, made comments that someone outside was trying to hurt him.

Martin said an arriving officer asked Yang if he was armed and he said that he had “a gun on his hip.”

Yang also told officers he was “an Asian Crip” gang member.

He was arrested on weapons charges.
