Grand jury charges Indian Lake Moose, Eagles lodges

Two fraternal lodges were named Tuesday in Logan County grand jury indictments for multiple counts of gambling.

Indian Lake Lodge 1533 Loyal Order of Moose faces five counts of gambling and one count of operating a gambling house, first-degree misdemeanors, while Indian Lake Aerie 3615 Fraternal Order of Eagles Inc., is named in six counts of gambling and one count of operating a gambling house, first-degree misdemeanors.

Both clubs were raid Nov. 13 when agents of the Ohio Investigative Unit’s Cincinnati District Office served a search warrant.

Six video machines were removed from each club.

The state agency, a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety that investigates and enforces state and federal liquor, tobacco and gambling laws, began an investigation after a complaint in the summer of 2014.

The case was referred to the Logan County Prosecutor’s Office, which proceeded with the charges.
