GREENVILLE, Miss. (AP) - An Arkansas man is facing charges in Mississippi after police say he shot a casino slot machine after complaining that it took his money.

Washington County Sheriff's Department Assistant Chief Billy Barber tells the Delta Democrat Times that 67-year Albert Lee Clark was arrested Friday for shooting the machine at Harlow's Casino Resort.

Clark is from Little Rock, Ark.,

Barbour says that Clark complained to a Harlow's employee that the slot took his money. When told that nothing could be done, Clark allegedly went to his vehicle and got a gun. The machine was shot multiple times. Barber said no one was hurt.

Clark is charged with shooting into an occupied dwelling, exhibiting a deadly weapon and felony malicious mischief.

It wasn't immediately clear if he had a lawyer.

Some people just ain't very well adapted for gambling. He was suely one of them. He should have left that tight slot machine, wondered around over the casino slot floor til hefound aloose slot. But...if he had done that, he'd still be walking. LoL.

He thought the sign said "Shot Machine" so he shot it. Or perhaps he thought the machine was "Shot" or broken as it wouldn't give him his coke. Or maybe he was angry because he put his money in and the machine wouldn't give him his sought after "Shot" of whiskey. There could be all kinds of rational explanations. One thing is for sure. A loaded gun in a casino is probably a bad thing.

Well now they didn't all take my money, some of the slot machines were quite friendly to me. And one was even very good to me, even gave me back 250.00 bucks for just a quarter in it.
