City Council Seeks Grand Jury Probe in Slot Extortion Case
Twin Falls officials on Friday voted to demand a grand jury investigation into a slot machine extortion scandal. The move follows the arrest of Police Sgt. Orville R. Reinoehl on charges he extorted $1000 from cafe owner O. A. Rambo to protect his slot machine. The request, to be presented to Judge James S. Porter, aims to gather information on missing liquor from a 1947 raid and a 1947 sheriff raid on poker games.
