advocate have been charged with running an illegal gambling operation in a
convenience store. The Spartanburg Public Safety Department says 24-year
Public Safety veteran Dale Leon Horton was charged with possession or
operation of illegal coin-operated machines and keeping a gaming house. The
State Law Enforcement Division says agents removed video gambling machines
from Horton's business, Dale's Quick Stop. Debbie Ruth Sellars has been
charged with operating a gaming house. The former volunteer coordinator at
the Council on Sexual Assault/Rape Crisis of Spartanburg says she didN'T pay
out winnings on the machines. Both were released from jail yesterday on
personal recognizance bonds.
