4 arrested in Henry County gambling bust
Four people were arrested in Henry County Wednesday on illegal gambling charges, authorities said.
Officers from the Flint Circuit Drug Task Force and Henry County S.W.A.T. searched three businesses: Lucky Bob’s Game Room in Stockbridge, Ricky’s in Ellenwood, and Rack & Cue Billiards in Ellenwood, according to a Henry County news release.
Officers seized 46 gaming machines, two handguns, narcotics and $8,000 in cash, police said.
Sgt. Joey Smith, a Henry police spokesman, said the arrests followed a four-month investigation. Investigators have not determined if the operations were connected to each other.
According to the news release, Alton Jun Chinn Lee was arrested at Rack & Cue, and Dianne Woods, David Stephens and Mary Poor were arrested at Lucky Bob’s. All of the suspects were booked into Henry County Jail.
Lee and Woods were released Wednesday on $10,000 bonds, and Poor is still in custody, according to jail records. Stephens was charged with additional felony drug and weapons violations and also is still in jail.
On Tuesday, police shut down another illegal gambling operation in Gwinnett County. Five people were arrested in connection with that bust.
