Indianapolis police crack down on gambling

[TheGeneral+]

Eighteen people were arrested, and nearly $7,500 in cash was seized by authorities at a Westside address, which authorities said was the site of illegal gambling.

Indianapolis police and Marion County sheriff's investigators made the arrests late Monday in the first block of Beachway Drive, which is north of Rockville Road and just east of I-465.

No details about the operation were released other than the names and addresses of the people arrested. They were preliminarily charged with misdemeanor gambling. Most of the men were from Indianapolis or Greenwood. The ages of the participants ranged from 18 to 69, police reports said.

Was this a poker bust? $7500 between 18 people doesn't sound like anything worth going after.

I suspect the police went in looking for drugs and came out with BS.

They were probably just buying a stripper for the night and taking over/under bets on her arrival time. Good grief, better have them jailed for that.

I would be ambarrassed to even admit that i only seized 7500 if i was those cops.

O/U on what multiple of $7500 the cops kept for themselves when declaring the $7500 amount found?
Mine: $40,000.
