Police authority
WINONA, Minn. (AP) -- Police in Winona say they're investigating a tavern's report that a man made off with pulltab proceeds by impersonating a state gambling inspector.
Deputy Chief Tom Williams says the man went into Cheater's Bar on Thursday and asked to inspect collections from the game.
Williams says a bar employee let the man go through the pulltab boxes. After a while, the man said he had to get something from his vehicle and left.
Williams says the man never returned. The amount of missing money hasn't been disclosed.
