Police say Maxwell tried to hide his illegal gambling operation behind the use of a charitable organization.
“An investigation conducted by the Gwinnett Police Department learned that Little Kings and Queens was running an illegal gambling operation under a guise of a 501c3 charitable organization,” said Hideshi Valle, public information officer for the Gwinnett County Police Department. “As a result, over 30,000 dollars in illegal funds were seized, and the business is closed at this time.”
Maxwell, who police say own 554 West Main Street, was charged with felony commercial gambling and misdemeanor keeping a gambling place. According to the Georgia Corporations Division, Maxwell is the listed agent for Tannery Row Ale House, LLC.
Maxwell was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail on Friday, June 17 but was later released on a $1,300 bond.
