SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Safety report a man from Sioux City, Iowa pled guilty on February 2nd in Woodbury County District Court, to Unlawful Betting-Fraudulent Claim, and Solicitation to Commit a Felony, in Woodbury County.  Both charges are Class D Felonies.

The plea from 57-year-old Dajo Aon Grandberry, followed a DCI investigation that resulted in his arrest on November 30, 2022.

The charges stem from an incident at the Hard Rock Casino in Sioux City on August 7, 2022, when Grandberry won a slot machine jackpot and attempted to have another person officially claim the winnings in an attempt to avoid paying offset funds that he owed the State of Iowa.  He further solicited another person to assist in completing the attempted felony fraud.
