6/3/2001 Jackpot squatter charged
Last year, when a winning gambler left her winning slot machine at the Grand Casino in Mississippi to check on other machines she was playing, De Dang Vo seized the opportunity to hit the jackpot ? her jackpot!
Vo took advantage of the moment and sat down to claim the US$300 jackpot, however he did not enjoy the fruits of theft for long. He appeared in court last week where he pleaded guilty to the charge. Circuit Judge Jerry O. Terry sentenced him to one year on probation. The judge did not convict him of the crime though and made an allowance for Vo's record to be cleared if he stays out of trouble.
