Linos Antonio Kas-Mikha, 52, of Grand Blanc, and Robert Jamerson, 55, of Saginaw, recently appeared in 7th Circuit Court in Genesee County for sentencing, after both pleading guilty to one count of conducting a gambling operation without a license.
MGCB further outlined the outcome by saying, “As part of their guilty pleas, three additional felony charges were dismissed against both defendants, including two counts of using computers to commit a crime and one count of maintaining a gambling house for profit.”
Judge Elizabeth A. Kelly presided over the hearing.
Both Kas-Mikha and Jamerson received sentences of 12 months of probation. However, Kas Mikha was also ordered to pay fines, fees and court costs that totaled $1.448.
