A fight broke out there over a ticket from a slot machine. (Image: <em>TripAdvisor<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Deon Newton was later charged with battery and committing fraud in a gaming establishment, <em>KVVU<\/em>, a local TV station, said.<\/p>\n<p>The victim was playing a slot machine at 12:38 am Monday. He momentarily turned away to speak to his wife.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Newton went up to the slot and pressed a button, <em>KVVU<\/em> said. A ticket appeared that was valued at $67.07. Newton then appeared to take the gaming ticket out of the machine, according to police. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But the player soon returned to the slot machine, and an argument broke out.<\/p>\n<p>At first, Newton walked away from the slot. But then he returned and allegedly punched the other man in the face. The duo then got into a struggle, police said. There were no serious injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Newton explained to officers he comes to casinos to collect tickets that appear to be discarded. He later cashes them in, police said.<\/p>\n<p>When appearing before a judge this week, Newton was told to stay away from the Strip. Newton is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 30.<\/p>\n<h2>New Ordinance<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-strip-enacts-possible-ban-for-all-criminals\/\">Clark County Commissioners<\/a> expanded a local ordinance that will allow authorities to ban individuals from the Strip who are convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under the new ordinance, if the suspect is found guilty of going to the Strip, it can mean six months in jail and\/or paying a $1,000 fine. It will\u00a0be enacted in the next couple of months.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Currently, judges can prohibit convicted drug dealers and prostitutes from the Strip for up to a year.<\/p>\n<h2>Rescued Puppy<\/h2>\n<p>In an unrelated incident also at the Bellagio, a California man faces an animal abuse charge last month after security officers rescued a confined three-month-old puppy, TV news reports revealed. The 50-year-old man allegedly left the young dog in a sweltering car at the casino. Its mouth was taped shut.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The temperature in the car was close to 108 degrees. The puppy, a Siberian Husky, had no food or water. The air conditioning was not turned on. The dog\u2019s mouth was taped with black electrical tape, according to <em>KSNV<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The car was parked on the hotel-casino garage\u2019s top floor for about two hours, <em>KLAS<\/em> said. The car was in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>The puppy survived the ordeal. The puppy was breathing heavily when it was in the car. The puppy was placed in a cool car after getting rescued. It was given water.<\/p>\n<p>The arrested man was identified as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/bellagio-security-rescues-puppy-from-108-degree-car-mouth-taped-shut\/\">Raul Carbajal<\/a> of Corona Del Mar, Calif.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A homeless man allegedly tried to steal a ticket from a slot at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip earlier this week.
