Information Filed Against Former WV Lottery Employee
WEST VIRGINIA....
The U.S. Attorney filed a one-count information Friday against Carolyn Kitchen, a former employee of the West Virginia Lottery implicated in the federal racketeering and gambling case of former Logan County Delegate Joe C. Ferrell who entered a guilty plea recently to charges of racketeering and tax evasion. The investigation into Ferrell's actions indicated he helped get Kitchen hired as an inspector with the lottery and then offered her additional payments periodically to be "on call" for his Southern Amusement business. Kitchen is accused of often giving Southern Amusement access to restricted areas of video-lottery machines and lying to federal investigators in their probe of Ferrell and his company.
