Shelli and John Ward of West Carrollton had a boat, a camper, a pickup truck and a bank account with more than $50,000 civilly seized, according to court documents filed in Daytons U.S. District Court.
An affidavit in support of an application for a search warrant indicated that Shelli Ward, a bus driver, and John Ward, a self-employed painter, gambled two or three times a week at Hollywood Casino for three years. The Wards had Players cards that enabled them to receive perks, documents said.
