Deputies found 11 video gambling machines in Pappy’s Barbeque on state Highway 299. Deputies arrested the restaurant’s owner, Louis “Pappy” Daniel Dodson, on Tuesday night after an undercover agent played a video poker machine and collected cash winnings from Mr. Dodson earlier that day.
Mr. Dodson was charged with commercial gambling, keeping a gambling establishment, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His bond has been set at $5,000.
