EUTAW, Ala. (AP) - The operator of Greenetrack has voluntarily surrendered the facility's licenses to sell alcohol and tobacco.
The Tuscaloosa News reports that operator Luther W. "Nat" Winn says no alcohol or tobacco products will be sold to patrons at the dog track and electronic bingo facility.
In a court brief filed Tuesday in Macon County, the governor's gambling task force referred to an Alabama law that allows warrantless searches for anyone with an Alcoholic Beverage Control Board license.
The brief also says any business open to the public can't bar a law enforcement official from entering to see whether a crime is taking place in plain view.
Task force lawyers filed the brief in support of its position that a search of VictoryLand, a bingo parlor in Shorter, should be allowed.
