Police Criticized For Dividing Gambling Cash Under Old Law
J D C MacRae of High Point Municipal Court criticizes officers for splitting money seized in a gambling arrest before trial and cites a 1943 law directing all such funds to the county treasurer. Chief Friddle says he was unaware of the new rule and confirms improper handling. The court orders $16.50 to be paid to the clerk for the treasurer and $11.40 to the defendants’ attorney.
