The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office Intelligence Unit, Tactical Unit, Special Investigations Section, Patrol Bureau in cooperation with the Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC), have arrested a female on charges of Keeping and Maintaining a Gambling House and Possession of Slot Machines. Taylor Swim, B/F, DOB: 01/05/98, was taken into custody on January 28, 2026, at the “41 Social Club” located at 1978 S. Tamiami Trail, Venice, and booked into the Sarasota County Correctional Facility.
The arrest followed a months-long investigation into several illegal gambling operations in Sarasota County resulting in a search warrant for the “41 Social Club”. During execution of that warrant, a total of 66 slot machines, along with U.S. currency, were seized from the business. Additional evidence located included the cease-and-desist letter from SCSO that was provided to the business in April 2025.
