Overview

• Nevada law treats unpaid casino markers over $1,200 as criminal offenses, exposing Morris to four felony counts for bounced checks.
• Morris was arrested at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport on July 27 and held under lockdown for over 50 hours without bail, food or water.
• On July 30 he wired $265,000 to MGM Grand and Wynn Las Vegas to cover the markers that had bounced.
• All fraud and theft charges were formally dismissed in early August, clearing the 13-season NBA veteran’s record.
• He and his agent maintained that delayed repayment, not an intent to defraud, triggered the case and highlighted tensions in casino credit enforcement.
