AG, WALKER COUNTY DA ANNOUNCE SEARCH
WARRANTS SERVED FOR GAMBLING DEVICES
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Luther Strange and Walker County
District Attorney Bill Adair announced the results of a law enforcement operation
conducted yesterday morning by Special Agents and representatives of the Attorney
General’s Office, the Walker County District Attorney’s Office and the Walker
County Sheriff’s Office.
Search warrants were served at the Arrow Head Golf Course, 3947 Holly
Grove Road, in Jasper, and at a house with blackened windows located on Nauvoo
Road near Jagger Road in Nauvoo. 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.
