Dothan, AL – The Country Crossing entertainment and gambling center in Dothan plans to reopen at 1 p.m. after being closed for several hours due to an anticipated raid by the Governor's Task Force on Illegal Gambling.
Spokesman Doug Rainer said employees were being called back to work Wednesday morning and the facility was returning to normal operations.
A circuit judge issued a restraining order at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday that blocked a predawn raid planned by the governor's task force. Country Crossing had shut down at midnight Tuesday in anticipation of the raid. State law enforcement officers had gathered in Dothan in anticipation of the raid and had obtained a search warrant.
