CHARLESTON, SC (AP) - The list of those charged in a raid on a Charleston-area poker game keeps growing.

Authorities now say a police officer, a teacher and a state prosecutor are among 65 people charged with gambling after the raid Friday night.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reports that, in all, 191 warrants have been issued.

Investigators say the house was hosting a well-organized poker and gambling operation with paid pit bosses and dealers.

The suspects were arrested under a 200-year-old South Carolina law prohibiting games of dice and cards. Attorneys for those charged say the law needs to be changed.
