Police: 4 men made $50K with fake gambling tickets
LITTLE RIVER, S.C. (AP) — Horry County police say four men took about $50,000 from a casino boat by cashing in counterfeit gambling tickets over the past three weeks.
Investigators say security officers on the Sun Cruz Casino boat detained the men last week at the vessel’s dock in Little River and called police.
Detectives investigated the tickets and determined they were fake. Investigators charged 49-year-old Ronald Ratliff, 46-year-old James Winburn, 41-year-old Wendell Ingram and 27-year-old Jesse Sparrow with criminal conspiracy and forgery more than $5,000.
It wasn’t clear if any of the suspects have an attorney.
