Poker Player Arrested for Murder
A Broward County man has been arrested on suspicion of killing his wife. The couple was well-known in South Florida poker circles and were regular players at a Pompano Beach casino. Their son owns a poker league that hosts games at bars throughout South Florida.
Robert Oulton was arrested Wednesday in the fatal beating of his wife Yvonne Oulton. Police say that to create an alibi, Mr. Oulton entered a poker tournament at Isle Casino & Racing Sunday night, the night Yvonne was killed. He then used his son to help him "look for his wife," and eventually led him to the body. After thorough investigation, surveillance videos connected Oulton to the homicide.
