Agents confiscated 60 electronic gambling devices, a 9 mm automatic gun and an undisclosed amount of cash. No arrests have been made.
“It is important for the people of Alabama—as well as those who would break our laws–to realize that law enforcement agencies are partnering in continuing efforts such as this one to fight illegal gambling in communities throughout our state,” said Attorney General Strange. “We are committed to work with local law enforcement whenever feasible to see that Alabama’s gambling laws are properly enforced.”
District Attorney Adair stated, “I fully support Attorney General Strange’s efforts to fight illegal gambling activities in Alabama, not only in Walker County but throughout the state.”
This operation is part of a continuing joint investigation into possible illegal gambling activities by the Attorney General’s Office and the Walker County District Attorney’s Office. Information about future court proceedings is not yet available, but later inquiries may be directed to the District Attorney’s Office. No additional details may be provided regarding this operation or the investigation at this time.
