The cases are unique because of the available evidence: extensive interior surveillance video, casino comp records, beverage service receipts, valet and rideshare logs, and a substantial employee witness pool. This guide walks through the stop patterns on Indian Head Highway and the surrounding roads, the casino evidence trail, the Maryland dram shop framework, and the defense strategies for cases connected to a night at MGM.

A handgun discovered during a Route 235 traffic stop in St. Mary's County turns a routine ticket into a Maryland weapons prosecution under Criminal Law § 4-203, with mandatory minimum incarceration on the table.
