Fort Wayne and Indiana State Excise Police confiscated parts of Cherry
Master video gambling machines from a Fort Wayne strip mall late Thursday.
Fort Wayne police Sgt. Mark Walters said police received an anonymous tip
that a wanted fugitive from Huntington County was gambling at the strip mall
off East State Boulevard, east of Maplecrest Road. The caller told police
to look for an entrance that was roped off, Walters said. Aside from a roped
off area, the building has a door with a peephole, cameras aimed at the
entrance and a two-buzzer system that has to be activated for the doors to
open. When police arrived about 10 p.m., they didn't find the man they were
looking for but they did find illegal gambling machines, Walters said.
