Fajarado previously pleaded not guilty to the charge of Prohibition of Illegal Gambling Business.

Fajarado's husband, Samuel Bejarano Coolin, also faces federal charges related to illegal gambling along with three others: Ivan Tellez, Alejandro Torres Estrada, and Cesar Oroszco.

The judge ordered Fajardo's release under the conditions that she remain in the State of Idaho, surrender any passports, and forgo attending any horse racing events. She must also be supervised when visiting her young children. She will be staying with her daughter, who lives in Caldwell, as she awaits trial.
