A North Las Vegas casino was left damaged following a drastic incident involving a woman who deliberately drove her RV into the main entrance. The 50-year-old, identified as Jennifer Stitt, crashed her Winnebago into the Cannery Casino early Friday morning after being escorted out by the building’s security.
Reports indicate that Stitt was asked to leave due to her disorderly behavior, but she refused to comply, which led her to trespass on the casino’s property. Frustrated with the situation, she took matters into her own hands by driving her RV through the main doors of the establishment and, in the process, struck and injured a 66-year-old custodian.
During the chaotic scene, authorities had to forcibly enter Stitt’s RV as she continued to reverse and accelerate, reportedly trapping the custodian beneath the wreckage. Eventually, police managed to extricate Stitt and arrest her.
Eric Leavitt, a spokesperson for the North Las Vegas Police Department, recounted the custodian’s terrifying moment, stating, “He looked up and said, ‘you’re hitting me!’ and she continued to accelerate at him, actually running him over. She knew fully well what she was doing.” He added, “A little bit farther and it would have been into the table games, and she kept gassing it.”
The injured custodian reportedly suffered critical injuries but is now in recovery and expected to survive. Police who were present at the casino quickly apprehended Stitt, who is currently held at the Las Vegas Detention Center facing charges of attempted murder, with bail set at $100,000. The exact reasons for her being asked to leave remain undisclosed and are under investigation..
