From WRIL -
A short time before 7:00pm on Friday December 9, 2022, Middlesboro Police department executed a search warrant at the Old Binghamtown Market on 25th Street.
This was after numerous complaints to the police department about underage juveniles being sold tobacco and THC products. That lead to the discovery of multiple pay out gambling machines in the business starting a dual investigation. During the incident officers seized ten of the pay out units.
Cited to court was the business owner Poonambhai Patel charged with:
(3) counts of distributing tobacco to a minor,
