Police Jury denies electronic video bingo permits for Gulf South Hemp Association, issues occupational license
Summary
After staff presented documents linking Gulf South Hemp Association to a suspended licensee, the Jury issued the business an occupational license but denied electronic video bingo permits; no representative of the applicant appeared at the meeting.
At the Nov. 18 meeting the Jury considered applications from Gulf South Hemp Association for electronic video bingo permits. Assistant District Attorney Mitchell presented documents indicating a connection between Gulf South Hemp Association and Good Times Video Bingo, the company whose electronic video bingo license had been suspended at a prior meeting. No representative appeared for Gulf South Hemp Association.
On the motion of Lonnie Hudson, seconded by Michael Thompson, the Jury voted to issue the occupational business license but to deny the electronic video bingo permits. Minutes record the action as passing without opposition.
Mr. Mitchell’s presentation and the Jury’s action reflect staff review of licensing history and related documentation; the minutes do not record any response or presentation from the applicant. The item was processed as a licensing and enforcement matter rather than a policy debate, and the Jury moved on to other business including hiring and subdivision approvals.
