State police busted the Eagles Club in Marion Friday night, charging two individuals with the illegal sale of alcohol in a dry county.

The club on Old Piney Road in Marion has been the target of previous similar investigations.

At 7:10 p.m., Friday several troopers and state police detectives executed a search warrant at the private club. Police charged David P. Eskew, 61, and Judith K. McDonald, 69, both of Marion, with selling alcohol in a dry territory, and lodged in them the county jail.

Police say they found a large amount of alcoholic beverages, illegal gaming devices and an undisclosed amount of cash inside the club.
