Alledged Illegal Video Poker Machine Gambling
Police have arrested three people on felony gambling charges more than three months after police raided the Bradford Social Club and confiscated what they said was evidence of illegal gambling.
♠ The president of the Bradford Social Club, Charles Trieber, Jr., 56, of 3 Turtle Trail, Charlestown, was arrested and charged with one felony count of "forms of gambling prohibited," which carries a penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine up to $2,000.
♠ Two bartenders at the club, Ralph E. Boss, 42, of 16 Vars Lane, Bradford, and Joyce H. Garrett, 39, of Groton, were charged with one felony count of keeping of gambling places or devices, which carries a penalty of up to two years in prison and a possible $5,000 fine.
Baker alleges the club was operating video poker machines and paying players based on the number of points they received. He credited Detective Ernie Bailey for his work on the investigation.
