Former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker has guarantted to pay more than $900,000 to put an end to bad check charges with 3 Las Vegas casinos and inhibit trial on felony criminal charges. The plan calls for Antoine Walker to pay a minimum of almost $13,000 per month over 5 years to settle a complaint containing from casino debts at Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and the Red Rock Resort. The case contained from $1,000,000 in casino markers, or promises to pay, he racked up between July 2008 and January 2009. In Nevada, unpaid markers are treated as bad checks.
The gambling debts of former NBA star Antoine Walker have been negotiated and today at a court hearing Antoine Walker made his first payment toward resolving $905,050 owed to 3 Las Vegas casinos. Antoine Walker forfeited a $135,000 cash bond toward the debt today in Las Vegas Justice Court. Under a deal negotiated with prosecutors, Walker, who faces 3 felony bad check charges for casino debts at Red Rock Resort, Planet Hollywood and Caesars Palace, will pay a minimum of $12,835 a month to resolve the remaining $770,050 in debt.
A complaint charges Walker with 3 felony counts of passing checks with insufficient funds from July 27, 2008, to Jan. 19 at the 3 casinos (Red Rock Resort, Planet Hollywood and Caesars Palace). The complaint alleges he wrote 10 separate checks for $100,000 each, for gambling markers.
However, Antoine Walker never entered a plea in the case, which was filed last July. Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melanie Andress-Tobiasson agreed Monday not to order him to stand trial in state court on 3 felony bad check charges, each carrying a possible one- to four-year prison term.
The case is remaining in justice court as part of the agreement. If Walker misses a payment, it will be transferred to district court and set for trial. Justice of the Peace Melanie Andress-Tobiasson warned against a missed payment, saying if Antoine Walker failed on his end of the bargain, she would send the case to district court “I can tell you at the point he stops making payments, I will bind him up so fast it’ll make your head spin,” She said to Walker.
