WOOD COUNTY – Three illegal gambling operations have been raided in Wood County. Over 100 eight-liner machines were seized when three separate teams raided the businesses at Quitman, Winnsboro and Alba. All three raids were staged at the same time Thursday night. Besides the machines, authorities also seized the property and a large amount of cash. At least one person has been arrested because she was in possession of a firearm, and more arrests are anticipated. Sheriff Bill Wansley said the raid followed a year-long investigation.
