NBA Star Antoine Walker Arrested in Nevada for Unpaid Casino Markers
Former NBA player Antoine Walker was recently arrested at Harrah’s Tahoe for failing to pay back $822,500 in casino markers. He posted $135,000 cash bail, and either he or his attorney will answer the charges on Monday at the Regional Justice Center in downtown Las Vegas.
Unpaid casino markers in Nevada are treated like bad checks. Each unpaid casino marker exceeding $250 is a felony carrying one to four years of prison time, a $5000 fine, and full restitution.
According to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office, Mr. Walker allegedly failed to pay back several markers taken from Caesar’s Palace, Planet Hollywood and the Red Rock Resort.
