When police raided the apartment building behind the Wild Rose Tavern in June 2009, we learned that the bust was part of a three year investigation into after-hours gambling spots and a related drug ring distributing cocaine and methamphetamine. Seattle Crime reports that the investigation has drawn to a close and prosecutors expect to file no further charges.
