Overview

• He was arrested at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport on July 27 and held without bond on two felony counts for passing checks with intent to defraud.
• Prosecutors issued warrants after he allegedly wrote a $115,000 marker to MGM Grand and a $150,000 marker to Wynn Las Vegas in spring 2024.
• A wire transfer covering the outstanding markers prompted Florida authorities to release him after 51 hours in Broward County jail.
• Morris contends the checks were standard casino credit markers he always intended to repay and that the fraud label misrepresents the situation.
• His next court appearance is scheduled for August 6 in Las Vegas Township Justice Court, where extradition proceedings will continue.
