Off-Duty Detective’s Troubling Incident at Bally’s Twin River Casino

Incident at Bally’s Twin River Casino

An off-duty police detective, Gary Slater, found himself at the center of a serious controversy during a visit to Bally’s Twin River Casino. The incident, which took place last October, involved Slater becoming heavily intoxicated and displaying aggressive behavior, leading to significant consequences for his career and reputation.

Confrontation with Casino Staff and Law Enforcement

According to reports, Slater was accompanied by family members who attempted to calm him. Despite these efforts, he became hostile, threatening casino employees and refusing to comply with an eviction notice. His behavior was so disruptive that casino security called for police backup to manage the situation. The casino has since banned Slater permanently.

During the intervention, Slater verbally confronted the police officers, questioning their professional accomplishments and using derogatory language to demean them. Witnesses described his attitude as confrontational and disrespectful toward his fellow law enforcement personnel.

Investigation and Aftermath

Footage of the incident shows an exchange between Slater and the officers arresting him, where he boasts about his lengthy career while disparaging the officers. The officers involved labeled Slater’s conduct a disgrace to the police force.

After a thorough investigation, no criminal charges were filed against Slater. Instead, authorities classified his removal from the casino as a protective custody measure. Nevertheless, Slater was suspended without pay and has entered a treatment program to address the issues related to the incident.
