Judge orders destruction of confiscated machines

Jefferson County Judge Scott Vowell has ordered the destruction of 186 gambling machines that were discovered in Kimberly on May 22, 2008. Sgt. Bill Isbell, a Kimberly Police investigator, discovered the illegal machines last year after receiving permission to enter the building. The machines, parts and other equipment were valued at $1 million. Vowell determined that the machines were being assembled for use in Walker County bingo halls.
