Gambling Wife Charged
Judy Lea Fairbanks, 52, of Bellevue, Neb., was charged Saturday after she
was found gambling at the Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs. Police said
she left her husband in the car and taped a sign to the window, which said
"I have a disability. Do not be alarmed. I am resting. Please do not call
security." Fairbanks' husband cannot speak or care for himself, the police
report said. Officials estimate he had been left in the vehicle on the third
floor of the parking garage for about an hour before he was discovered
sleeping in the front passenger seat. The temperature was about 28 degrees
at the time, according to the National Weather Service.
An investigation revealed the same couple was involved in a similar incident
on March 6. Judy Fairbanks was arrested, charged with neglect and
transported to jail.
