Video Poker 247 - Video Poker Arrests in Harnett County

Harnett County Sheriff’s Office says that they have charged four people with running illegal video poker machines. The sheriff’s office joined forces with the State Bureau of Investigation and just after Thanksgiving they raided the establishments that were known to be operating the illegal video poker games.

There were thirteen video poker machines seized in the raid that took place near Dunn – the machines were taken from three different locations. The sheriff said that they had received various complaints from residents that there were illegal video poker games being operated at the locations, and wanted something done about them.

In the case of one of the establishments he was running more than five video poker machines, which makes it a felony, while the other two were charged with misdemeanors. Graylon McLamb, 62, was charged with the felony possession of five video gaming machines and will be held in Harnett County Jail on $10,000 bond. He will face the court on January 8th of next year.

Floyd Allen McLamb, 38; Kary Dwayne Pennington, 38; and James Sherrill Sewell, 28, have all been charged with misdemeanors for possessing less than five video poker machines each. They will all appear in district court on January 7th. The sheriff says that they still have one more suspect to arrest, but as he was out of the country they will handle it when they come back.
