A White Hall man, accused of making as many as six-thousand calls a month in taking sports bets from around the
country, has pleaded guilty to running an illegal gambling business.
Forty-two-year-old Billy Joe Hulse Junior entered the guilty plea in U-S District Court in Little Rock.
A sentencing date has not been set. The maximum penalty on the gambling conviction is five years in prison and a 250-thousand dollar fine.
Hulse is one of four defendants in the case, which also led to a
misdemeanor state charge against the Jefferson County sheriff and a
deputy. That charge was later dismissed.
