‘Biggest gambling raid since Prohibition’ comes to a conclusion
In November last year the Baltimore police raided a local card club called the Owl’s Nest, which resulted in the arrest of 95 people for "illegal gambling". Soon after that all charges were dropped against the participating players, but this week the event’s 65 year-old organizer was fined $500 and put on probation before judgment for two years.
