FORT WAYNE – Five people were charged Wednesday in a scheme that authorities say involved about $1 million in illegal payments to purported volunteers who ran charitable bingo games at American Legion Post 330 in New Haven.

Investigators with the Indiana Gaming Commission believe that within the last five years between $988,000 and $1,040,000 was paid to managers and workers who ran the post’s bingo games, according to Allen Superior Court documents. snip

During a stakeout on April 18, state agents witnessed one of these deliveries. The 71-year-old courier passed the envelopes to the restaurant cashier who placed them in her apron and handed one of them to Kenneth Brooks as he sat at a corner table, court records said.

On April 25, an agent also reported seeing Kenneth Brooks leave the restaurant with two white envelopes. On June 13, agents sat at a table next to Kenneth and Lana Brooks and saw the elderly courier give Lana Brooks a white envelope. Lana Brooks then gave the envelope to her husband, telling him “take this and do not lose it.”
