PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Associated Press) — Authorities in Rhode Island say 20 people have been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to an organized multimillion dollar criminal gambling conspiracy.

The state attorney general's office said Tuesday the charges stem from an eight-month investigation dubbed Operation Free Roll.

State police announced the arrests in April. They said authorities had broken up two bookmaking operations in Narragansett and Warwick and seized more than 300 pounds of marijuana.

The indictments say the suspects took wagers on sports contests, set betting lines and collected money.

Most of the suspects face charges of conspiracy to commit organized criminal gambling and organized criminal gambling. They are scheduled to be arraigned next month.
