sugardaddy Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Don't cops have anything better to do with their time than to pick on gamblers? ALPHARETTA, Ga. (AP) — Police apprehended 23 people after raiding a suburban Atlanta restaurant, where authorities say patrons were gambling on the upcoming NCAA basketball tournament. Alpharetta police spokesman George Gordon said officers and detectives from Milton, Roswell and Johns Creek took part in the 9 p.m. Monday surprise raid on Pepperoni's Tavern on Old Milton Parkway. Gordon said investigators had learned that a gambling event was planned for the tavern Monday night, shortly after the teams were set for the tournament. He said police detained about 65 people, and that 23 of them face charges of illegal gambling. Gordon told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that police confiscated several handguns and an undisclosed amount of cash. Names of those arrested were not immediately released. http://onlineathens.com/breaking-news/2015-03-17/alpharetta-police-raid-nets-23-accused-gambling-ncaa-tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsouth Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 The hand guns found on site were generally held by the owners or guys running the "games". Alpharetta actually a pretty nice area overall. And yes, this was generally just police looking for someone to pop for some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutus Buckeye Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Police have nothing better to do. Every now and then they want to make the local papers. The fact that in this day and age we continue to bust people for a harmless crime is pathetic. It's time to decriminalize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisHarvard Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 they were running a card room This sums up the thread. The guys thought they were top dogs, running all sorts of illegal stuff, probably dealing drugs too. Basically everything that is legal in other countries. (cards, betting, soft drugs like cocaine). I think it's bollocks, they certainly weren't hurting anyone except maybe themselves. You just can't get away with that stuff, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
