MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Supreme Court has struck down a preliminary injunction that kept the Governor's Task Force on Illegal Gambling from conducting another raid of the gambling hall west of Montgomery.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Friday in favor of Gov. Bob Riley's task force. The task force raided the White Hall gambling center in March and seized 105 gambling machines.
The charitable organization that operates the facility, Cornerstone Community Outreach, argued that the machines were legal bingo games and it got a preliminary injunction against future raids.
The Supreme Court reversed the preliminary injunction and said Cornerstone did not have a reasonable likelihood of proving that the games seized in the raid constituted the game of bingo.
