Discovery of Slot Machines Does Not Go Well

A reporter from News Channel 5 in Nashville, Tennessee discovered some slot machine playing going on in a government office – and it ended with a shoving match instead. It appears that on St. Patrick’s Day County Clerk John Arriola allowed his employees to try their luck at a slot machine. The slot machines were set up in the employee break room and the employees were given tokens to play with. If they hit the “jackpot” so to speak, they could win $5. It was all in fun, until Reporter Phil Williams showed up.

Williams went back into the break room with their cameras and started poking around. Now, first we want to know if he had a right to be in their break room. Williams maintained that it was public property – but still – what was he doing there? Then when he was asked to leave he refused. Instead, he was cracking the case of the illegal St. Patty’s Day slot machines! When Chief Clerk Joey Workman got there things only got worse.

Workman asked Williams to leave and he wouldn’t. He asked him to leave five times, and then got physical with Williams. Now, we don’t think that getting physical with the reporter was a good idea – but why wouldn’t Williams just let them be? Were they breaking the law – who knows? But really who cares? For one day they were having a good time on their lunch break and this reporter wanted to break up the terrible slot machine gambling ring that he saw going on there.

While we do not condone the shoving, we think that Williams should have minded his own business and left them to play their slot machines in peace.
