I left New Orleans after Buffalo's tournament this last weekend, hung out an extra couple days, I wake up this morning and drive about 9 hours and stop in Jr's place in Cape.
A friend of mine has been trying to set up a game with a player from Ohio that is stuck in Cape. I thought I would stop and give him some cheap action, I arrive and the owner Jamie Dodd calls the guy up and says he will be there in about an hour or less.
The players name is Branden Williams, supposed to be a real good player. He gets there and I asked him if we ever met, he says we played 2 games of 1 pocket at Michaels in Fairfield Ohio, I told him I don't remember and I asked how we came out. He said he won 2 games, both were 8-7. I have been to Michaels 1 time and I had a strong stakehorse, I remember I lost a set for $3k and played a couple of cheap games, this guy could have been one of them.
So back to the game tonight, We agreed to play a race to 11, 10 ball for $200. We put $400 on the light. I win the 1st set 11-6 and he pays me. Now he wants to shorten the race to 9, so I am up 7-3 and I am racking, while I am getting the balls racked, we are using the Magic Rack he leans over to me and says he will be right back, I think he is going to the restroom or whatever.
After about 30 seconds a spectator comes over to me and said while talking to me he reached up with his right hand and grabbed the $$$$ off the light, he is about 6'3 or so, he is tall. I looked up and the $$ was gone. The guy took off with the money, if I se it he don't get far, but I was getting the ball to sit up in the rack.
I get the owner and he calls the guy, the guy answers the phone and tells him I owed him $400 from the past, I don't even know him, 15 minutes later he posts on facebook that he did it because I owe him $400, lol, he never mentioned this to me before we started, he blantantly took the $$$ and ran. Jamie Dodd is the owner of the establishment, it is called Jr's place.
I have known Jamie for 30 years and know way would he let this happen, he reimbursed me $200 which was very nice of him, he barred the guy for life, Branden Williams is from Ohio and is currently stuck in Cape Girardeau Mo. He was arrested and charged with robbing Coinstar machines in the area and from what I hear he can't leave the county for 5 years. Now I put this to my friends on facebook, he sent me a private message threatening me if I continue to tell what happened, I do owe a few friends that have helped me in the past, I don't even know this thieving creep, warn anyone you know about this guy. Never had this move put on me, pretty brutal. Gary Lutman St Louis Mo.

did that to me in San. Francisco in 1970. About 6 years later in New Orleans, he gave it back, plus some. But this time the stake horse never saw it coming
