I played there quite a bit to and I'm glad I wasn't around for these shenanigans. Another great place in Fort Wayne so I'm wondering if this is going to be a statewide "crack down" or just an Indy city thing

I haven't played there, but friends of mine had.
I think it's probably more related to the recent coverage over the
"pea shake" houses. Ignoring the pea shake = black, poker = white racial overtones, the general vibe of the coverage was that these places are harmless and should either be overlooked or legalized.
But when the place is victimized by an armed robbery (as IPC was last week), the claims of "harmless" go out the window.
My guess is that if the IPC owners had not filed the police report about the robbery, word would have gotten out anyway and the event would have been spun poorly. By being upfront and reporting the crime, IPC at least laid claim to some legitimacy.
