What began as complaints of illegal activity turned into a yearlong investigation of casinos in Robeson County, North Carolina. And on Monday officials announced they have not only found unlawful gambling, but also marijuana farms and an illegal police force.

The people operating the casinos were members of the Tuscarora Nation, a sovereign citizens group which has made threats in the past to wage war against local police.
