The gambling sting was a joint operation with the Narcotics Task Force in Jackson County and Jackson County Sheriff's Criminal Investigation Division, K-9 Division and patrol deputies.

During the operation, $2,196 was seized along with a variety of drugs and gambling paraphernalia.

Kelvin Reginal Monroe, 49, lives at the home and was charged on an operating a gambling house offense. Monroe was convicted of the same charge in 1999.
