A veteran Canton police officer ticketed at the same football gambling party already has been suspended with pay as that department conducts an investi­ gation. Canton Public Safety Director John Santomauro would preside over any disciplinary hearing that the officer might face and would issue a final judgment on punishment, if any. "We have rules of conduct for our officers that's higher than what's expected from civilians," Santomauro said. "We expect a higher standard of conduct." Price made a similar state­ ment. "Some people including myself like to hold us to a higher stan­ dard, but we live in the real world," he said, adding later, "I don't condone this." Some Westland City Council members had heard about the officers being ticketed, but one member said he didn't believe the council would become involved in the matter. "I believe this is a matter that is going to be investigated and ultimately decided by the police department, specifically Emery Price," Councilman Richard LeBlanc said. A series of tips to' Farmington Hills police led to a raid of the Royal Oak Music Theater on Sunday evening. Officers from Royal Oak, Farmington Hills and the Oakland County Sher­ iffs Department conducted the raid, making 13 arrests and issu-^ ing more than 300 tickets. Gambling aside, police also arrested three people for cocaine possession and one man for hav­ ing a handgun. Others were taken into custody for not pro­ viding identification, Farming: ton Hills Assistant Chief Chuck Nebus said. The raid netted $221,000 in cash in the betting operation. People bet $500 for possible $100,000 payoffs, police said. South Oakland Narcotics Intelligence Consortium, which includes Farmington Hills and Novi police officers, tracked information that revealed a gam­ bling operation under the ruse of an investment seminar that would take place at the theater. The "seminar" coincided with the NFC and AFC championship games Sunday. "It was really just a front," Farmington Hills Police Chief Bill Dwyer said. Those ticketed were cited for frequenting a place of illegal gambling.
