Putnam men settle gambling charges
WINFIELD, W.Va - All eight men robbed at gunpoint last year during a high-stakes poker game have settled charges of illegal gambling against them.
Seven of the eight men entered guilty or no contest pleas to the charges, and were fined $300.
The county magistrate's court, at the recommendation of the county prosecutor's office, dismissed charges of illegal gambling against one of the men, Max Ullman of Vienna, on Dec. 22.
