NARC SQUAD ACTIVITIES Supply Suspect Thought To Be Writer' For Illegal Lottery Ring BY KRIC CARLSON A suspected middle man for an interstate gambling operation was arrested by Brunswick County narcotics officers recently with nearly $1,000 worth of illegal betting proceeds and records of transactions totalling $600 for one day, according to Detective Lt. David Crocker. The suspect, Milton Earl Gore, 48, of Route 2, Supply was charged with one count of posses sion or barter of lottery tickets, Crocker said. Gore was under observation for some time due to citizen complaints about him "operating a numbers racket," said Crocker. On Aug. 29, nar cotics officers Doug Todd, Kevin Holden and Crocker stopped Gore's vehicle and seized $978 in cash and a stack of payout sheets indicating his daily collections. "It was obvious from the evidence we collect ed that Mr. Gore is what they call a writer for people who handle illegal bets on the New York and Illinois lotteries," Crocker said. People who play the illegal numbers games place bets ranging from 10 cents to $5 with a "runner," who passes on the bets and collections to the "writer," Crocker explained. The writers work for illegal gambling operations in Chicago and New York City, keeping track of the bets and moving the collections and payoffs between the organizers and the runners. The wagers are placed on the final three num bers in the out-of-state lotteries, Crocker said. Players can either bet on the number itself or on any combination of the three digits. The latter bet has a greater likelihood of winning but results in a lower payoff. Crocker said such small-time numbers games exist "all-over the county," but admits that shut ting them down is difficult. The first-time penalty for getting caught is only a misdemeanor, punish able by a maximum of six months in jail. Subsequent arrests can result in more serious sen tences. "We need to start somewhere," Crocker said. In January 1993, sheriffs detectives raided an illegal numbers operation in Leland where more than 10,000 lottery tickets and about $37,000 in cash was confiscated. The operators were found guilty of misdemeanors and received suspended jail sentences. Crocker said Gore may have connections with some of the people involved in the earlier crack down. In other reccnt narcotics squad activities, a highway interdiction checkpoint was set up last week in the Phoenix area with assistance from t'nc N.C. Highway Patrol. Numerous traffic citations were issued, Crocker said. Detective Gary Shay searched a residence on Bluff Road, Leland, and arrested Mark Allen Hcwett, 30, on charges of misdemeanor posses sion of marijuana and maintaining a dwelling for keeping controlled substances. About SH60 cash, believed to be the proceeds of previous drug sales, was confiscated in the arrest, which result ed from a complaint by a concerned citizen, Crocker said. Another arrest is expected as a result of an aerial search for illegal marijuana gardens con ducted recently with assistance from the N.C. National Guard as part of a drug eradication pro gram sponsored by the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. Crocker said. A total of 1 1 marijuana plants were spotted over a two day period. Citizens who have information about illegal gambling or drug activity are encouraged to call the narcotics squad 24 hours a day at (910) 253 4797. All calls will be kept confidential.
