A Gwinnett County grand jury indicted four people Thursday in connection with an illegal gambling scheme that was operating out of a Tucker restaurant last year.

Those indicted in the case were bar owner Min Sook Kim, along with Adrian K. Holmes, Abdul Haleem Shakoor, Roemon Jaquire Williams, and Jacqueline Shakoor. Police initially arrested a total of 14 people in March 2009 at Pufferbelly’s Bar and Grill on Lawrenceville Highway.

Investigators who conducted surveillance there allegedly found slot machines and a live poker game.
