AG STRANGE ANNOUNCES SEARCH WARRANTS SERVED
AT FOUR CASINOS IN GREENE COUNTY
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Luther Strange announced that four search
warrants were served today at four separate casinos in Greene County through a joint effort by
law enforcement agents from the Attorney General’s Office and the Alabama Department of
Public Safety. This law enforcement action was taken in response to alleged illegal gambling
operations. The search warrants were served this morning at Greenetrack and Greene Charity in
Eutaw, AL, and at Frontier Bingo and River’s Edge in Knoxville, AL.
“Today’s actions are the culmination of an investigative process over the last several
months,” said Attorney General Strange. “From my first day in office, I have worked to ensure
that illegal gambling laws are enforced consistently across the state. These casinos were
operating in open defiance of the rule of law and we have been left with no alternative but to
treat this as we would any other law enforcement matter.”
“I want to thank Governor Bentley for his continued support of our law enforcement
efforts,” said Attorney General Strange.
The search warrants served today culminated in the seizure of more than 1,000 gambling
machines and an undisclosed amount of cash. The gambling machines, along with the seized
money, will be held as evidence and will be subject to forfeiture procedures in the Circuit Court
of Greene County.
