Store owner finally arrested for illegal gambling operation found inside his LaFayette convenience s

An arrest has been made in the illegal gambling operation found inside a LaFayette convenience store. In late October last year, police raided the Chevron store at the intersection of north main and hendrix. Georgia Lottery officials pulled their machines from the store after complaints surfaced that employees were illegally making cash payouts to customers. Police captain Stacey Meeks said a felony warrant for the owners arrest had been prepared weeks ago, but he was out of the county. this week, 50 year old barber Nmn Khan turned himself in on a charge of illegal commercial gambling. Meeks said that Khan is a native of Pakistan, in america on a canadian visa. He reportedly left the united states due to a family illness in his native country. Meeks said local police have had no further complaints on the business since the raid last year, and the lottery machines have not been returned to the business. the gbi, drug task force agents, representatives of the Georgia Lottery Corporation and the State Department of Revenue assisted local police in the investigation
