Crackdown on Illegal Gambling in Smith County
Posted/updated on: February 3, 2017 at 2:50 pm
TYLER – A letter sent to some Smith County businesses indicates the sheriff’s department is cracking down on illegal gambling. The letters went to around 50 game rooms located in unincorporated areas within Smith County. They have been given until Monday to voluntarily comply with the letter. If the machines are not removed by that time, investigations will be started and action will be taken to see that they comply with state law. This could result in arrests and referring cases to the district attorney’s office.
