SCHENECTADY – A dispute at a Rivers Casino and Resort table game Friday night escalated to an assault, authorities said. The incident happened just after 9:30 p.m. During an unspecified table game. The Des Plaines Police Department does not publish annual statistics on crime, as many police agencies do in New York, but Kushner has analyzed the number of emergency calls his department has taken, before and after Rivers Casino opened. “Our call volume increased by 1,300 calls per year once the casino opened,” said the chief.
The incident happened just after 9:30 p.m. during an unspecified table game at the facility, according to police allegations filed in court.
That’s when Michael Kearsing, 27, of Fisler Avenue, Colonie, intentionally punched a 65-year-old man “several times in the face following a dispute at a table game,” the allegations signed by the victim read.

The victim required treatment at Ellis Hospital for swelling, bleeding and needed sutures to his right eye as a result of the assault, the allegations read.
Police arrested Kearsing afterward and charged him with one count of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. He was arraigned and released on $500 bail to return to court later.
