Gambling Operation Busted

{London, Kentucky}...Laurel County Sheriff John Root says 45 year old Raymond C. Wright of Williamsburg and 32 year old Shannon R. Jones of Rockholds, in Whitley County, were running gambling machines out of an old funeral home building a mile north of U.S. 25 in London. Wright and Jones were arrested in a raid that also resulted in the seizure of 19 machines and nearly $10,000. Jones was also charged with possession of methamphetamine. Root says the gambling parlor had an ATM and surveillance cameras, including one used to see who wanted in the building before opening the door remotely.
