FORT MYERS, FL. -- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the results of a multi-day operation targeting illegal gaming operations today. The operation spanned Lee and Collier counties and resulted in the seizure of 479 illegal machines and $294,150 in illicit proceeds, along with 11 arrests.
“Illegal gambling operations pose a threat to public safety and undermine our compact with the Seminole Tribe, which provides billions of dollars to the state to protect our environmental resources,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “These illegal casinos fuel larger criminal enterprises that contribute to drug and human trafficking. We will continue working with our law enforcement partners to shut down all illegal gaming operations across the state.”
“I want to thank Attorney General James Uthmeier, Gaming Control Commission Chair Julie Brown, and their respective offices for their partnership in keeping our community safe,” said Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk. “These illegal and unregulated gambling businesses and machines provide zero consumer protections, no guarantee of fair play, and no recourse if an operator simply disappears with their money. Unregulated machines take advantage of customers. Make no mistake–these are not harmless establishments.”
“This coordinated, multi-agency effort led by the Florida Gaming Control Commission, working alongside the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, and the Florida Attorney General’s Office shows the residents of Southwest Florida that we are a law-and-order state,” said Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno.
This was a joint operation led by the Gaming Control Commission, the Office of Statewide Prosecution, Collier County Sheriff’s Office, and Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Since the beginning of 2026, the Florida Gaming Control Commission have led a statewide crackdown on illegal gaming operations, seizing 3,114 illegal machines and $1.7 million, and arresting 81 individuals involved in unlawful gambling.
The Attorney General also notified payment processors that their facilitation of illegal online gaming may implicate Florida’s RICO act. To view a copy of the letter sent to Visa, click here.

Known for being a godly, hardworking man, Bert’s personality radiated warmth and wit. He was a jokester with a quick sense of humor and a talented cook, traits that endeared him to family and friends alike. His passions included traveling, camping, and fishing, pastimes that he often shared with loved ones. Bert also devoted much time to nurturing young athletes as a Little League football and baseball coach and umpire, leaving a lasting legacy in the community.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Carol Ann Williams; their sons Dale Ray (SuEllen) Williams and Dean Arnold Williams; and grandchildren Deanna (Jason) Jones, Carol (Casey) (Jerrette) Langford, Matthew (Laci) Williams, and Sandra (Sandy) (William) Likens.

Bert was preceded in death by his parents, Git (Annie) Williams; his siblings Ralph, Norma, Corine, and Earl; and his great-granddaughter Baylee.
He went home to be with the Lord through natural causes, leaving behind a legacy marked by faith, family devotion, and service. Bert A.

Dan Garcia, Jr., fondly known as Danny, passed away peacefully on June 5, 2026, in Fort Myers, Florida. Born on July 9, 1954, in Baraboo, Wisconsin, Dan’s journey through life was marked by dedication, love, and an unwavering commitment to those he held dear.
Serving proudly in the United States Army, Dan embodied a strong spirit of service and resilience. After his military service, he devoted over 20 years working as an electrician, a career that showcased his steadfast work ethic and integrity. Upon retiring in 2008, Dan embraced his passions fully, finding joy in playing the guitar and singing, his soulful music echoing the warmth he carried within. He was an avid fan of westerns, both on television and in film, often sharing these simple pleasures with family and friends.
Dan’s heart was always centered around family. His proudest moments were spent alongside loved ones during cookouts—times of laughter, stories, and togetherness that painted the canvas of his life in vibrant colors. Among these cherished memories, Thanksgiving 2019 at Jess's house stands out—a reunion where the entire family gathered, creating joyous moments that will be treasured forever.
On March 12, Dan married the love of his life, Joy Lynn Thompson, in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Their union was a testament to enduring love and partnership. Though Joy preceded him in death, their bond remains a guiding light for those who knew them both.
Dan is survived by his devoted children: daughter Rachel Lynn Garcia Thomas, sons Jacob Alan Moon Garcia, Paul M. Garcia, and Dan Jr. Garcia, as well as daughters Luv Lee Garcia and Jessica Lee Encarnacion Garcia. Each carries forward Dan’s legacy of kindness, generosity, and an indomitable spirit.
Danny’s willingness to help anyone in need, his humility, and his genuine care for others enriched every life he touched. His presence will be deeply missed but forever remembered through the love he gifted so freely.
May Dan Garcia, Jr.’s soul rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the beautiful memories and enduring love he leaves behind.

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Clarice J. Mitchell (née Bell), a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and beloved wife, who departed this life on June 4, 2026, in Clewiston, Florida. Born on December 1, 1941, in Waycross, Georgia, Clarice’s life was a testament to love, dedication, and kindness.
Clarice spent over two decades as a school bus driver, a role in which she found deep joy and fulfillment. Her days were brightened by the laughter and chatter of children, and she took immense pleasure in spending time with them throughout their school year, always ensuring their safety and comfort with a warm heart and gentle spirit. Her passion for nurturing young lives was just one facet of a remarkable life lived fully and generously.
Beyond her career, Clarice had a zest for life that was evident in her many hobbies and interests. She treasured her visits to River Ranch, where she could immerse herself in nature's beauty and unwind amid tranquil surroundings. Family and friends were at the core of her happiness, and she relished every moment spent in their company. A devoted churchgoer for most of her life, Clarice held dear her spiritual community at Turning Point Church of God until her declining eyesight made it too difficult to drive.
Traveling with her beloved husband Samuel in their motorhome opened doors to new adventures, offering them the chance to explore different states and deepen family bonds, especially with relatives in Cross City, Florida. Clarice and Samuel’s 69 years of marriage were marked by unwavering love and partnership, a beacon of devotion that inspired everyone who knew them.
Clarice is survived by her loving husband, Samuel W. Mitchell, who shared with her a lifetime of memories and steadfast companionship. She leaves behind cherished sons Paul Mitchell and Ronnie Mitchell, who carries the memory of his late wife Delores Mitchell in his heart, and daughter Tammie Mitchell Green, who remembers with love her late husband Jimmy Green. Her brother Joseph Bell of Cross City, Florida, remains a source of fond family memories.
Her legacy blossoms through her beloved grandchildren: Cameron and Rikki Mitchell of Culpepper, Virginia, Ferris and Tim Muller of Madisonville, Tennessee, Jennifer Mitchell and her husband Jimmy of Clewiston, Florida, Wendy Mitchell and her husband Michael of Clewiston, Christina Green Smith and her husband Tommy of Clewiston, and Chasity Greene with her husband John of Bristol, Florida. The love she poured into her family expands even further to embrace twelve great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren, each carrying a spark of Clarice’s warmth and kindness.
The community is invited to honor Clarice’s life during visitation on June 12, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Turning Point Church of God located at 207 Pine Lane, Clewiston, FL 33440. Her funeral service will be held at the same location on June 13, 2026, beginning at 10:00 a.m., followed by a graveside service at Ridgelawn Cemetery, 520 Ridgelawn Road, Clewiston, FL 33440, at 11:30 a.m.
Clarice J. Mitchell’s journey among us was marked by selflessness, love, and joy—a tapestry woven with devotion to family, faith, and community. While we mourn her loss, we also celebrate her beautiful legacy that will continue to inspire all who knew her. May her soul find eternal peace.
