A Wisconsin man who was a guest of the Silver Slipper Casino Hotel wound up on the roadside in handcuffs after hotel employees rousted him from bed, demanding that he move a camper from a casino parking lot, he claims.
The only problem, the guest insisted, was that the camper did not belong to him. He went back to bed, but soon enough had to face the cops.
The guest, Mark Charron, has filed a lawsuit against the casino hotel, Hancock County and Allen Weaver, who was a sheriff’s deputy in March 2025 and arrested Charron for trespassing. Hancock County attorney Gary Yarborough Jr. has filed a response to the lawsuit that says Allen and the Sheriff’s Department did nothing wrong.
