Law enforcement agencies confiscate 16 illegal gambling machines and several
thousand dollars from a business in Middle Valley. Police served a search
warrant at the Putter Inn at 6937 Middle Valley Road last night. Deputies
found video poker machines and active card games inside the facility.
Approximately 50 patrons and all employees were interviewed before being
released. Officer Ron Rice with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department
says they've been investigating the Putter Inn for several months. Rice says
the more evidence they collect...the easier it is for the district
attorney's office to prosecute the owners. The investigation continues, and
there is no word yet on any charges.
