 The Herald Citizen reports in Baxter, the city council recently discussed the legality of gaming machines appearing in local convenience stores. The council awaits a ruling from a Missouri court case involving Torch Electronics, the same vendor behind Baxter's machines. Attorney Wade Blair explained that this decision could set a precedent affecting Baxter's stance on these machines. In Silver Point, 43-year-old Christy Renee Lawson was arrested by Putnam County Sheriff's Office last Wednesday. She faces charges including selling meth to make ends meet.
