NC Video Poker Ring Leads to 21 Accused
While allegedly it is two brothers from South Carolina who are the ring leaders of a suspected video poker ring, it was in North Carolina that the crimes were committed, and it was a North Carolina grand jury that indicted 21 people in connection with the ring recently. The group has been accused of running illegal video poker machines in 25 NC counties, as well as bribing two Buncombe County sheriff’s deputies. The two ringleaders, according to the indictment, were named as James Otis Henderson and Barron Sloan Henderson.
