don't you just love how the govt can steal your money from you but if you want to gamble it at your own will, it's illegal in most places..They'll tax you into poverty but somehow are against someone gambling themselve's into poverty...

They really need to focus on burglaries and thefts instead of petty crimes!

It should be noted these investigations were initiated due to citizen complaints. Also, illegal gaming is against state law and they are only enforcing laws enacted by representatives.

I think the Benton police department needs some new direction and leadership if this is really the best use of their time, rather than focusing on real crime
