twitterConvicted felon added to black book
Thursday, Jan. 27, 2000 | 3:19 a.m.
State gambling regulators voted Thursday to add convicted felon Peter Jay Lenz to the "black book" of undesirables banned from Nevada casinos.
Lenz, 54, has four criminal convictions tied to illegal gambling operations.
His most recent conviction was in 1996 in federal court in San Diego for conspiring to conduct, manage, finance, supervise, direct and own all or part of an illegal gambling business, according to an investigation by gambling regulators.
He was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison and three years of supervised release.
Lenz did not show up Thursday at the Nevada Gaming Commission meeting to contest the decision that he be included in the book.
He was also convicted in 1982 for running an illegal gambling operation in San Diego and 1983 for the same crime in the Phoenix area, records show.
Lenz became the 33rd person to be listed in the book.
