Charges Against Most “Cabin” Poker Players Dismissed

Last summer, the Wake County Sheriff’s Department with the assistance of the NC Alcohol Law Enforcement obtained warrants for a well-known poker room known as “The Cabin” on Tarheel Club Road. Deputies seized poker tables, chips, televisions and other equipment and about $40,000, including cash in player’s cars or in their possession.

Vergil Allen Elliott, owner of “The Cabin,” and 14 others were issued Class 2 misdemeanor gambling citations. Elliott has since pled guilty. In December 2006 all the others, listed below, had their charges dismissed, according to an attorney involved with one of the defendants. All money seized from the defendants during the arrest was returned.

Those charged and subsequently cleared were: Susan Fowler Jones, Lee Jonathan Brewer, George Graddy Jackson Jr., Albert Thomas Clayton, John Samuel Blanton IV, Willis Edward Toudel, Ali Ihsan Ibrahim, Leamon Douglas Benson, Dennis Lee Leathers, Leon Thomas Cook, Chance Dynell Butter, Michael Lee Brown, Kevin Cedric Burroughs and Ayca Jones.
