A man who was found passed out sitting at a slot machine inside a Las Vegas casino has been charged with driving impaired and other allegations.
On Tuesday, around 11:45 pm local time in Las Vegas, a Nevada State Police Highway Patrol cruiser was crashed into by a vehicle. The state police officer was inside the vehicle investigating a separate motor vehicle incident when the crash occurred.
The vehicle that hit the police cruiser fled. The police officer sustained injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.
The crash occurred on the southbound lane of Interstate 15 near the 215 Beltway. Nevada law enforcement said they located the suspected vehicle involved in the crash about 20 minutes later at the Silverton Casino.
Police found the vehicle’s owner, 51-year-old Mark Guyot, inside the casino that’s located just an exit further south along I-15 at Exit 33. Charging documents suggest Guyot was found asleep at a slot machine.
Numerous Charges
Upon apprehension, police suspected that Guyot was intoxicated. Along with a strong smell of alcohol, a search of his vehicle found two empty bottles of whiskey.
Guyot was subsequently arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol resulting in substantial bodily harm, hit-and-run, and failure of duties when approaching a traffic accident.
State police officers wrote that Guyot, upon being woken, had slurred speech, bloodshot and watery eyes, and admitted to knowing that he had “hit something.” He insisted, however, that leaving the scene “was the right thing to do.”
Guyot, according to the complaint, admitted to drinking three whiskey drinks at a downtown Las Vegas bar before making his way south. He agreed to field sobriety tests, which he failed, according to police.
He refused a breathalyzer and was transported to the Clark County Detention Center for two blood draws. His blood results are expected in two weeks.
Guyot posted $100,000 bail. He’s due in court on Monday, Aug. 18.
A person convicted of DUI with substantial bodily harm faces two to 20 years in prison and finds between $2,000 and $5,000. Substantial bodily harm includes fractures, wounds requiring stitches, organ damage, paralysis, burns, long-lasting cosmetic damage, loss of consciousness, and chronic pain.
The Nevada State Police Highway Patrol officer has since been released from the hospital and is expected to fully recover.
Suspect Claims Casinos as Clients
An internet search found a Mark Guyot in Las Vegas who claims to be a video producer and director, and father of four. Guyot says he can handle advertising and branding, video portfolios for businesses, social media productions, and live event services.
On his company webpage, Guyot lists MGM Resorts among his clients. MGM is Nevada’s largest employer and operates more casinos on the Las Vegas Strip than any other company.
