Gambling house operators convicted on misdemeanor gambling charges

WARREN — The three operators of a former gambling house called Treasure Island have pleaded guilty to or found guilty of misdemeanor gambling charges.

The operators also lost 32 Tic Tac Fruit video gambling machines and cash that was seized during a raid a year ago.

Treasure Island was located in the North Road Center on North Road Southeast, just south of Youngstown Road.

Jeff Hoolihan, a city detective, said the investigation that led to the convictions put a stop to several illegal gambling operations in the city.
