Leonard Morgan Hairston, who has been arrested 34 times and had multiple felony convictions for theft and manufacturing and passing counterfeit casino chips, was nominated to the list of excluded persons, commonly called the “black book,” by the Nevada Gaming Control Board at its Oct. 5 meeting.

But he may become No. 35 on the list because the commission also will consider removing two people.

Before Hairston’s scheduled hearing, the five-member commission will consider removing the names of Tommy Glenn Carmichael and Alvin George Kaohu.
