‘I know I’m in trouble:’ North Las Vegas man charged after 6-month-old son left in car outside casino

I guess he was "gambling" that the niglet would be crispy to perfection.

A North Las Vegas man arrested Friday night after his 6-month-old son was left alone in a car outside a casino told police, “I know I’m in trouble” when officers found him inside, according to an arrest report.

The boy was found when another customer heard him crying in the car and went to casino security, according to statements made to North Las Vegas police.

Mitchell Hooks, 39, faces charges of child abuse/neglect and leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle.

When officers found him inside the Bighorn Casino at 3016 E. Lake Mead Boulevard, he said he “made a mistake” by going gambling instead of going home. He told police he had dropped off his sister at a friend’s house in the area of Lake Mead Boulevard and D Street, and he went to the casino instead of going home, according to the arrest report.
