弗农-埃米特·科尔曼，73岁，阿肯色州哈特菲尔德人，被判缓刑八年以下的罪行，因为他在威尔巴格县司法区法院的第四十六个案件中涉及非法赌博。

　　科尔曼同时也被勒令，在他缓刑期间，他在福尔德县威尔巴格内不得经营博彩设施。

　　根据当局的观点来看，位于市中心1900块附近的德克萨斯弗农街的前科尔曼游戏室，科尔曼是所有者和经营者。

　　科尔曼游戏室中包含大量的游戏机，俗称“八派。”3月份的时候，弗农警察部收到一些来自居民的报告，称该游戏室致富现金给客户，从而警察部对游戏室发起调查。

　　在德克萨斯，游戏室不得支付现金但可以为客户提供价值低于5美元的首饰。

　　在收到现金支出的信息之后，警察局长汤姆威尔逊进入游戏房间当卧底，以便调查这件事情。

　　威尔逊玩游戏室里的机子，他观察发现有几个客户收到现金奖励。当他不玩这个游戏了的时候，他同样通过游戏机赢得游戏，同时获得金钱上的奖励。

　　因此，根据卧底行动中收集到的资料，警方获得对游戏室搜查令然后搜查了该游戏室，查处了超过10000美元的现金和大量的游戏机。

　　VERNON -Emmett Roy Coleman, 73, of Hatfield, Arkansas, was placed on probation for eight years following a guilty plea involving an illegal gambling case in the 46th Judicial District Court of Wilbarger County.

　　Coleman also was ordered not to operate a gaming facility in Wilbarger, Hardeman or Foard counties during the term of his probation.

　　According to authorities, Coleman was the owner and operator of the former Coleman Game Room located in the 1900 block of Texas Street near downtown Vernon.

　　The Coleman Game Room contained numerous gaming machines commonly referred to as "eight liners." The Vernon Police Department initiated an investigation of the game room in March after receiving several reports from residents that the game room was paying cash out to customers.

　　In Texas, game rooms are not permitted to pay out cash but may only provide customers with trinkets of a value less than $5.

　　After receiving the information about the cash payouts, police Chief Tom Wilson entered the game room undercover to investigate the operation.

　　Wilson played the machines in the game room and observed several customers receiving cash prizes. He also won money on the machine and received a cash payment as he left the business.

　　As a result of the information gathered from the undercover operation, police obtained a search warrant and raided the game room, seizing more than $10,000 in cash and numerous game machines.
