Nazi Low Rider uses counterfeit bills at San Manuel

Man charged with using counterfeit bills at casino


A suspected member of the Nazi Low Riders and his wife have been charged with using counterfeit money at the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino in Highland.

The state Department of Justice said Tuesday that casino staff suspected Donald Thrash of Ontario and his wife Kerry were gambling with counterfeit bills in December and called police.

Special Agent Dave Vialpando says agents searched Thrash's home in Ontario and found more than $1,000 in $5 bills that were washed and reprinted to look like $100 bills. They also found drugs and evidence that he belonged to a white supremacist street gang.

Vialpando says criminals are foolish to commit crimes in casinos because their actions are caught on video tape, which makes it easy to prosecute them.
