Gambler snorts cocaine at Sands Bethlehem baccarat table

The gambling industry currently has enough public relations problems without gamblers scoring spectacularly embarrassing own-goals, but it seems every family has its share of Fredos who just can’t help themselves.

Such as Brooklyn resident Qing Ben Zhu, who was arrested Monday in Pennsylvania for having the damn good sense to snort lines of cocaine at a Sands Bethlehem casino gaming table in full view of casino staff.

Local media reported that casino surveillance observed the 44-year-old Zhu powdering his nose at a baccarat table at the ungodly hour of 7:30am, which means he was either using the blow to ward off sleep or he was getting an early start and the casino only had decaf coffee on hand.

When Zhu got up to go to the bathroom, he was followed by state troopers, who observed a white powdery substance on Zhu’s upper lip. Challenged by police, Zhu threw a container of white powder into the bathroom sink, and this powder later tested positive for cocaine.
