An ex-felon was hospitalized and will face felony weapon charges after allegedly shooting himself in the thigh with a concealed unregistered handgun while walking through a Las Vegas Strip casino, authorities said Friday.
Ronnie Delouth, 30, of Henderson, faces a Feb. 28 court hearing in Las Vegas, where the roster at the Clark County Detention Center showed he has not yet been transferred in custody from a hospital to the jail.
Delouth was hospitalized in critical condition early Tuesday after security video showed him suddenly writhing and falling to the casino floor while walking alone through the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, according to media citing a police report.
The report said Delouth was seen pulling a handgun from his waistband, throwing it under a slot machine, and beginning to crawl away before security officers arrived.
