Ocean Isle Man Pleads No Contest To Slot Machine Violation An lie can Isle Bcach business man pleaded no contcst in Bruns wick County District Court last week lo upciauug a sioi machine at his local business. However, Judge Napoleon "Poli" Barefoot Jr. ruled that one of the two machines seized from the business by N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement agents was not a gambling device and should be returned to the defen dant. Gene Austin Hardee, 53, of East Second Street, manager of the Breakers at Ocean Isle, received a prayer for judgment continued in the case last Wednesday, Feb. 5. Hardee and an employee, Tim othy Edward Holcombe, 23, of East First Street, were both charged Sept. 12 by ALE agents for having two il legal slot machines at the business and with gambling violations inside an ABC licensed establishment. Judge Barefoot dismissed charges against Holcombe pursuant to a plea agreement between the state and the District Attorney's office, in ex change for a plea from Hardee. A prayer for judgment means no District Court sentence will be hand ed down against Hardee if he avoids any future charges. ALE agents swarmed into Bruns wick County last fail in search of il legal coin-operated machines inside clubs and restaurants with ABC li censes. Several people were charged at Lxing Beach, Ocean Isle and Calabash after the machines were discovered. Judge Barefoot ordered that a ma chine confiscated from the Breakers that is classified as a "sharp shooter" be destroyed. However, a machine classified as a "spin-out" was or dered returned to the defendant. Hardee was ordered to pay court costs while money seized from the machines during the raid is to be turned over to ALE officers. Two other charges against Hardee, a gambling violation and owning an illegal slot machine, were dismissed. In North Carolina, slot machines and gambling arc considered illegal. Video machines that involve more chance than skill arc also considered illegal if the winner receives some thing of value in return for playing the game, such as free games, mer chandise or cash.
