Missouri-based Torch Electronics LLC, which has been accused of operating illegal gambling devices, filed suit against the state.
The lawsuit filed in Cole County alleges the Missouri Department of Public Safety, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control are using a campaign of "harassment and intimidation" in cracking down on rogue slot machines.
The suit alleges the state exceeded its authority by removing Torch machines from Warrenton Oil’s convenience stores. Another Missouri company, Warrenton Oil joined Torch in the lawsuit.
