[MD] Bowie Elks reprimanded for illegal poker game at lodge
by Megan King, The Gazette
The Bowie Elks Lodge in Gambrills received a reprimand from the Anne Arundel County Liquor Board Dec. 11 after police found lodge members playing poker in August.
The board agreed to expunge the violation from the club’s record if it has no other violations for one year and if the lodge pays the administrative costs for the hearing.
Lodge members were ordered to appear before the liquor board after police entered the club on an anonymous tip Aug. 13 and discovered an illegal poker game ongoing.
When police went to the lodge, they confiscated $406, a poker table, poker chips and playing cards, according to an Anne Arundel County police report.
Eight men, three of whom listed Bowie addresses, were involved in the game, the report said.
No charges have been filed, according to Maryland court records.
Detective Lemuel Aulton of the Anne Arundel County Police Department told the liquor board that the lodge members and staff were ‘‘very cooperative” with police, and the men admitted they were playing a low-stakes poker game.
