Description
A tip received from a reliable informant triggered a police investigation into allegations that a substantial gambling operation was being conducted at the 19th Hole Bar in White Plains. In May, 1977 Carl Vergari, the Westchester County District Attorney, sought an eavesdropping warrant for two telephones located on the premises. In support of the application, Detective Robert Pockl asserted that a prolonged period of surveillance had been unable to establish who supervised and controlled the gambling operation. It was these higher echelon people who were the targets of the probe. Attempts to infiltrate the group involved in the illicit activity had proven unavailing because those involved were very careful and wary in protecting their enterprise. Associates of the targets would not reveal information. Search warrants had been executed on the premises in the past, and they had uncovered illegal policy slips, but access to higher-ups could not be realized in this manner. On May 6, 1977 Judge Leggett issued a 30-day eavesdropping warrant for two telephones located at the premises in question.
