In that instance, similar to the poker chip theft allegations, the DA's office declined to file charges. Robledo has a lengthy history of serious accusations, including in 2019 when three women accused the controversial police officer of sexual misconduct. Secretive deputy gangs have long been an issue within the entire L.A. Multiple previous lawsuits have accused Robledo of being a member of a secretive gang within the Los Angeles Sheriff's Station. “Any employee that violates the public’s trust and engages in misconduct will be investigated and held accountable.” “The Sheriff’s Department holds each of its members to the highest standards and expects them to act with integrity and professionalism,” the department said.
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. 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.
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.
