Dallas Co. authorities arrest 5 bingo hall burglary suspects

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

Five men from Bessemer are arrested for burglary in Dallas County — after they’re caught inside a bingo hall — that was recently shut down by authorities.

Sgt. Kenny Hardin says the incident happen at around 11 o’clock Monday night at Selma Charity Bingo.

He says deputies responded to a burglary-in-progress call — and found the five men inside the building.

The bingo hall was one of several in the Selma area — that was raided and shut down by authorities — a week earlier.

“The subjects, all five of them are from the Bessemer area,” Hardin said.

“And they come up here and broke into a building that was locked and seized by the courts here. So, we charged them all five with burglary and placed them in the Dallas County Jail,” Hardin said.

Eric Hunt has a probation revocation charge — and is being held without bond.

Michael Sanderson, Charles Vanderford, Christopher Robinson and William Humphrey are each being held on $15,000 dollars bond.
