On Wednesday, February 5th, at approximately 3 p.m., the Hennessey Police Department (HPD) was called to assist agents from the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission in executing a search warrant at Friends, a bar located at 110 W 1st St in Hennessey.
While officials have not released full details, local sources indicate that several gaming machines were discovered inside the establishment. It remains unclear whether these machines were legal or if they were being used in violation of state gaming regulations.
Hennessey Police Chief Christian Solis and Officer Matthew Bruner were among the officers who assisted ABLE agents during the operation. Law enforcement has not disclosed if any arrests were made or if charges are pending as a result of the raid.
Multiple attempts were made to contact the ABLE Commission for further information, but as of press time, no response had been received. The investigation remains ongoing.
