Gaming House Charges Dropped Against Scallorn

A charge of keeping a gambling house filed against a Green Forest man has been settled and dismissed.

According to a report posted by KTLO, the charges against 33-year-old Daniel Scallorn were dismissed in “the interest of justice” during a hearing in Boone County Circuit Court on Dec. 13. Scallorn had been charged with operating gambling houses in Mountain Home and Harrison which have since been shut down.

According to court documents, the parties agreed Scallorn did not act purposefully in violation of the law, but that he either knew or should have known that his activities were illegal. Scallorn also agreed to cease and desist from engaging in any activity related to machine gaming or operating games of chance within the state.

Scallorn also agreed to forfeit $117,000 held in one bank account to the 14th Judicial District. He also forfeited his interest in all gaming machines seized.
