- Mississippi’s Silver Slipper Casino is named in a lawsuit for a March 2025 incident
- The plaintiff claims he was wrongfully trespassed and arrested from his casino hotel room
A complaint in Southern Mississippi’s federal court alleges that the Silver Slipper Casino & Hotel wrongly had him trespassed and arrested from his hotel room during the early morning hours of March 17, 2025.
Plaintiff Mark Charron, of Wisconsin, traveled to Bay St. Louis for a three-night stay in March 2025. Traveling with a camper trailer hitched to his pickup, Charron claims Glenn Smith, the security manager of the Silver Slipper, told him he could park his camper on the casino property’s back lot.
On the morning of his second day at the casino that’s owned and operated by Las Vegas-based Full House Resorts, Charron was contacted by the front desk, telling him he needed to move his camper by noon. Charron says he complied, relocating the camper, with the assistance of an employee named Shue, to another lot that was supposedly off the Silver Slipper property.
Late that night, shortly after midnight at 12:30 am local time, Charron alleges that he was awoken by “pounding noises, screaming, and hollering” outside his door.
You need to move that f***ing camper!” the complaint alleges the hotel workers yelled.
Confused, Charron opened the door and told the employees they must have the wrong camper, as he moved his with the assistance of an employee. He closed the door and went back to bed.
Hotel Trespassing
Seconds later, Charron says the Silver Slipper hotel workers pounded on the door again. Security guards arrived with a shift manager who demanded that his camper be moved.
Charron alleges that the employees refused to describe the camper in question that needed to be moved or would be towed. At some point, the hotel called the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, and three deputies arrived at 1 am in the hotel hallway.
The police officers told Charron he was now trespassing, as the casino wanted him off the property. According to police body camera footage, Charron dragged out the event, repeatedly telling the officers that the hotel employees had the wrong person.
The cops continually told Charron that the camper at this point was irrelevant, as the casino ordered him to be removed from the premises. Charron eventually complied, as he packed up his room and exited the hotel at 1:30 am.
However, after receiving his pickup from the valet and beginning to drive away, Charron stopped his vehicle to take photographs of what he believed to be the camper in question. That’s when Charron was arrested and booked for trespassing.
Charges Dismissed
The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office later dropped the trespassing charge. Charron’s complaint is seeking damages from the Silver Slipper for being “vicariously liable for the action of its employees.”
Charron had contracted with the Silver Slipper and paid the Silver Slipper for a hotel room, and Charron expected the Silver Slipper to act in good faith and fulfill the terms of the agreement — a safe, quiet, and enjoyable stay. However, despite being paid for the room, the Silver Slipper and its staff maliciously and intentionally breached the contract by kicking Charron out of the hotel and ultimately causing Charron to be arrested,” the complaint alleges.
“The Silver Slipper’s actions constitute a breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and malicious breach of contract,” the litigation contends.
Charron is seeking actual, compensatory, pecuniary, non-pecuniary, special, and punitive damages in an amount to be determined by a jury, plus reasonable attorney’s fees. A telephoned case management conference is set for March 27.
